I am guessing that there is probably something in your life that you really want to do, maybe something that you want to be or some change that you want to experience in your life, maybe something that you want to have, something that you want to accomplish.

Probably the thing that is holding you back is that you are waiting for things to be just right. Maybe you still need some more experience or you need to learn something about how to do that thing or you are trying to make sure that you really know something before you go into it and you don’t make too many mistakes.

There are a lot of things that go into being prepared and feeling ready to do something new and if that is the case I have something special for you today.

Hi I am Abe Stone, a life design coach at CoachingReallyWorks.com

Where Do You Start?

Now when you are looking at a goal like that, when you have something that you really want to get done, that you really want to take care of, it can be a little bit daunting because it seems that is so far out there.

Let us say for example that you want a fruit tree, you want a fruit tree in your backyard and you want to just step out there this summer and pick some fresh apples. But how is that going to happen? It is going to take time, you’re gonna have to plan a tree, you’re gonna have to wait, you’re gonna have to take care of it. There is a lot that goes into reaching some goals and often times, we do not start because there is so much that has to get done that we are just not sure where to begin or how to do it.

Ancient Wisdom You Can Use Today

Well, there is an old Chinese proverb that says

The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago, but the second best time is TODAY.”

And that is the thing that we need to learn about goals and about the things that we want to accomplish, do, or  have in our lives.

We need to realize that if we want to have those things, if we want to become that person, if we want to have that experience, we have to start taking action today, we need to move steadily in the direction of our goal TODAY! Stop waiting. Stop waiting for the circumstances  to be perfect and ideal and to have everything figured out and to know exactly how everything is going to fall into place.

Taking A Small Step

Some things you just don’t know. Some things you have to experience and be ready for when they come or not even be ready for them but just understand them and be aware of them when they arrive and then learn what to do with them and how to change.

So sure.

• Get informed. Get the information that you need.
• Do the research that you need to do.
• Make a plan.
• Make a decision about what you want to do.
• Outline the plan of how you expect to get there. Even if it is not very clear, even if you don’t know all the details, at least start with something and the most important thing is IDENTIFY THE FIRST ACTION YOU CAN TAKE.

Don’t wait. Don’t put it off. Don’t keep waiting, “maybe I still need more information, maybe I still need to figure out some things.”

Once you have an action, once you have something to do, make it a simple one, make it just something easy that you believe that within the next 2 4 hours you can do it.

I want to challenge you to do that thing within the next 24 hours. Don’t try to make a big thing out of it. Don’t try to pick a big action step.

Take a small step and I want you to get going right way because when you do that, then you will find that that gets you excited. You start the momentum, you start the action, you get the juices are flowing, the creativity starts to come and as you more one step closer then new ideas can come and you can continue to take steps, but the real secret is to learn to make that decision and start doing it right away, DON’T KEEP PUTTING IT OFF.

The Secret Napoleon Hill Discovered

Napoleon Hill, in his book Think and Grow Rich, I actually have a copy of it right here. He wrote that, decision is one of the biggest things that he found was a key to the successful people  that he worked with and interviewed and studied throughout his life. Here is a quote from his book:

Analysis of several hundred people who accumulated fortunes well beyond the million dollar mark disclosed the fact that every one of them had the habit of reaching decision promptly and of changing those decisions slowly, if and when they were changed. People who failed to accumulate money without exception have the habit of reaching decisions, if at all, very slowly and changing those decisions quickly and often.”

Napoleon Hill

And this goes for anything in life, anything that you want to be a success in, anything that you want to achieve and grow in, you have got to learn that power of making a decision and taking action. (Read Think and Grow Rich)

Affirmation to move you forward

So before I go, here is the affirmation that I have for you this week:

I am becoming someone who takes action. Taking action is becoming a natural part of who I am.
