Take Action

It has been a busy week with my wife gone at her National Sales meeting, extreme cold in the mid-atlantic, two family members having surgery and the daily grind of getting things accomplished. All that said I haven't had much thought towards putting together a blog idea this week. That all changed after I came across this video and it reminded me how much people dream big and thirst for success but never TAKE ACTION!!!

Human are great at dreaming big but never putting the building blocks in place to accomplish those dreams. We hear stories and watch movies about great success and I think many people believe that individual just woke up to success one day. While that may be the case what people don't see are the numerous failures or all the blood, sweat and tears that went into waking up that morning. You hear all the time about Edison's game changing inventions but you don't hear about the 10,000 failures that went into that one success. You hear about Ford's success in developing the V8 engine but not the years of people thinking it was impossible yet Ford stayed the course knowing that if the proper actions and mindset are in place that success will happen.

I have treated thousands upon thousands of patients over the years and the one difference that sets people getting better from those that struggle are the patients that take action. The ones who take what I educate them on and implement those cues into their daily life. Its the little things done daily consistently that will change your life forever.

All the successful people in our rich history can be put into one category called Mr. or Mrs. Activationist and those that typically fall short and just never reach that level fall into the category of Mr. or Mrs. Passivationist. I don't need to go into to much depth as I am sure those reading this fall into the first category. The Activationist creates not only incredible concepts but then takes those concepts and puts them into action. Sounds easy but taking action is the step people tend to never take. Whether its fear, nerves, financial or just confidence many very intelligent people never take the one step that could possibly lead them down an amazing journey/path. The Activationist also reaches out for help when needed knowing full well that sometimes it takes a team in order to succeed.

I watch my kids daily not only dream up an extremely creative world full of potential but I also see them almost 100% of the time implement their thoughts into some form of reality. They are not scared of failure, they are not scared of what people will think of them, they are not scared of loosing money (mostly because its mom and dads money), they are not scared of hard work...they just want to live and have fun.

 Why can't we as adults live, have fun, take chances? You don't need to rely on anyone else to get you off the escalator of life as its your sole responsibility to take ACTION and make the most out of what you are given. The person that says they can't do anything is stuck in life and they wait until someone tells them what to do. The problem with this is that you have no freedom in your choices and your success. You will always be working hard to bolster someones else's dreams and not yours. You will will not see how easy success can be if your mindset is stuck inside the box. You will be like the people of the escalator who instead of just taking an action step forward your life is full of the why me attitude which will limit your progress in believing you can overcome anything.

Make It Count!!!!
