Action!
What You Do
Take action. Take the best action. Take action now. Action is where the magic happens.
Take action now. A dream is incomplete without action. Taking a small amount of action is better than just dreaming. Action is how you experience your dreams. It is how you live your dreams today. Action refines your dream and gives you experience. And through experience you gain understanding.
Take specific action. Action is good, but specific action is gold. There are many things that can be done, but not all actions are helpful. Your dream helps you choose the best actions that move you forward. We do our best work when we are focused.
Combine actions. Your dream requires a unique combination of actions. There are three types of actions that should be performed regularly. The three actions are: create, serve, and invest. Life teaches us that certain combinations achieve results. For example, a combustion engine needs fuel, air, and compression in order to make usable power. In the same way, the combination of actions you choose is important to achieve the desired effect. Create value, serve others with what you create, and invest in yourself. These are the three actions that should be taken on a regular basis to achieve success.
Take enough action. You want to do all you can do, but not more. Success isn't working yourself to death. There is plenty of time. There is a natural amount of effort/action that is right. Too much effort creates injury. Too little effort and you fall short of your potential. The right amount of effort is exactly what is required. Do enough to fill the day. Natural success endures.
Action Is Ours To Command
A dream without action is incomplete.
Action is how we live/experience our dream.
Experience is how we gain understanding.
Understanding is how we refine our dream.
A dream reveals what specific actions to take.
Enough action is required.
Action is how we get results.
Consistent action creates momentum.
The three actions that work together are: create, serve, and invest.
Remember: Working Is Winning
Working is winning. There are a thousand things we could do each day. Which things should we do? A purpose and a dream help give us clear direction. When we have a clear direction we know what actions to take.
There is one phrase that I use that helps me stay action oriented, and that is:
“Working is winning.”
As long as I take action towards my dream it’s a win. Win every day.
To your success!
