Taking Action

"The difference between a dream and a goal, is a plan"

Everything that an individual possesses, no matter if it's big or small, is the result of the action that took place in order to obtain it. An idea is only an imagination that exists in the mind, until action is part of the equation. Then something magnificent takes place in the process. It becomes tangible. Almost magically, we have altered our imagination into reality. With this said, the ability to take action far exceeds knowledge and raw talent alone.

 Nike says it best, "Just Do It". Anyone that is a professional anything will admit they didn't get to where they are just by sitting on the couch. They practice everyday if they're an athlete. They read everyday if they're a leader. They rehearse everyday if they're an entertainer. They study everyday if they're an outstanding student. All they did was take the initiative of knowing what they want and act  upon it. Everyday people live their lives by the decisions they make. In a perfect world the right decisions are always made. But we all know that is never the case. So make sure the choices being made now are the ones to be proud of later. Keep in mind that in order to have satisfaction we are obligated to take action. The best time to take action was years ago, but luckily life works in our favor and gives us a second best time, which is right now.

Here is a jump start to getting what you want. 

1.) Ask yourself.
 What do I want?
 How do I plan to get it?

2.) Write down: Make it Tangible and Visualize it.

3.) Act on it.
