I talk about goals all of the time. Not just setting them but reviewing them and then following through with them— or as I love to call it– taking MASSIVE ACTION!!!
That is the only way to move forward with your life.
You can set all the goals you want– write them down, put them on your bathroom mirror, whatever….. But if you don’t take action towards them, nothing will ever happen. Your basically stuck in life on a race track, always turning left. You may think things are happening because things are going fast in your life, things are moving. But nothing is really happening.
The opposite of action is INACTION!
Inaction is worse then anything. In all reality, it is a decision. It is a decision not to do anything. So in a sense it is ACTION!
Take for instance someone who joins a gym. Things are really going to start to change, right?
Maybe. Maybe Not.
That person comes home from a long day at work and says ‘I’m too tired to workout today’. That’s your decision, that’s your inaction, that is your action.
This is the kind of action that becomes a habit and a bad one.
Someone signs up for a group fitness program, comes for a few sessions, doesn’t see results, doesn’t ask for help, and stops coming. Then blames the program for not getting the results.
But it’s not the program, it’s that SOMEONE who decided to take the NON ACTION.
The action NOT to do something is just as strong and most times even stronger then actually DOing something.
Usually the decision not to do something is putting something off that you need to do, but you just don’t want it bad enough.
‘I’ll learn a new language when I have the time, I’ll go back to school, I’ll start working out again……. I’ll start my diet on the first of the month but for the rest of the month I’ll eat all the crap I want.’
YOU are responsible for YOU!
‘A volunteer is someone who takes full responsibility for the quality, path, and design of his/her life. A victim is someone who blames outside forces, such as the circumstance, bad luck, and/or one’s parents, for the quality, path and design of his her life period. A volunteer is awake, or ‘present’ to the surrounding environment and provides support and positive energy to others. A victim is self absorbed, and drains others of their energy. A volunteer feels blessed for the quality of his/her life, despite obstacles and circumstances. A victim feels victimized by obstacles and circumstances.’
-Jack Schropp, Commander Navy Seals (Ret.)
What do YOU want?
Figure it out, write it down, and then DO! Take action to go get it.
Don’t know where to start? Don’t have the necessary skills or knowledge to get what you want right now?
That’s ok, somebody does. Somebody has been in your exact position where you are right now, and they made the necessary changes to change and move forward with their life. And so can you.
Out there on Earth, where ever you are, you have access to some book, some audio program, some DVD, some coach, some school, some mentor, some website, something….. That can help you get what you truly want.
And if you truly want to be the best at it, or get good at it or even just be average at it, then you are going to have to invest your time and money into it.
Getting what you want out of life isn’t about ‘how much is it going to cost me?’ it’s about investing in yourself. Both time and/or money.
No investment, no change.
No change, you stay where you are, making excuses about what might have been.
But all of that can stop in an instant.
You just got to stop taking inaction and not doing and move yourself to taking massive action and actually doing. Your life will change.
I’m no mind reader. I have people and clients that email me all the time about this topic or that. They are taking action, reaching out for help on a subject that matters to them.
And then I have clients and newsletter readers that don’t ask any questions, so I assume you’ve got everything handled. And that you’ve gone through the other nutrition, fitness, ebooks, videos, and emails I have out there and they are taking action towards implementing some of that stuff. But I’m always there in case they need me. They just need to ask.
So I ask you, what are you going to do right now to take action and accountability to get what you want?
What book are you going to read, what coach are you going to hire, what person are you going to ask, what DVD are you going to watch, what website are you going to visit, what food are you going to eliminate, what workout are you going to do, what are you going to do?
What are you going to do to become the strongest person you can be?
What are you going to do to become the Improvement Warrior?

People procrastinate the most on either their health or wealth. What are you putting off that needs action right now?
