Action Or Self Delusion?
Are you taking action or are you deluding yourself?
There are three kinds of people in this world, there are those who watch things happen, there are those who make things happen, and finally there are those who say "what happened?"
Which one are you?
If you are either the first kind, or the last kind then I hate to break the bad news to you, but you are wasting your life.
I flitted between the two so I know what I am talking about, listen to me now and believe me later when I say unless you are taking action you are dying a slow painful death.
You wont even realise that you are dying, it happens so slowly like gaining 50 lbs in weight, you wake up one morning and realise that you have let the very best of life pass you by.
You just stood there and let it happen, and all your planning and plotting and goal setting didn't amount to a hill of beans because you never took any action, you simply deluded yourself.
If you are planning to take action and your still planning and you haven't taken any immediate action to propel you towards what it is that you want to achieve then you my friend are delusional.
I will not apologise for being so blunt with you, someone has to shake you from your self delusional world of plotting and planning and never taking action.
When I was a serial procrastinator, I had a phrase that would be spat out of my mouth faster than a pork pie at a bar mitzvah.
"The timings not right."
If I had a pound for every time I uttered those words in defence of not taking action, I would be writing this from my personal nuclear bunker on the moon.
It is all well and good to make plans and set goals ( I help all my clients to to it) but all the planning and scheming and goal setting in the world is of no use to you whatsoever if you do not put those plans into action.
If you wait for the timing to be right then you will be waiting for forever and a day.
If you are serious about taking action the very first and best thing that you should do is to write your goals down on paper.
There is a hidden magic in writing your goals down on paper that I do not have time to go into in this article.
However, like I said earlier, listen to me now and believe me later when I say that writing your specific goals down on paper is the catalyst to achieving the goal in the first place.
Do you want to be an action taker, or do you want to continue to kid yourself and tell yourself that the timing isn't right?
Action taker, or delusional fool, the choice is yours.
