Actions Speak Louder Than Words
By 
Continuing the recent trend of discussing personal development and procrastination, I happened to be talking to a friend today on a very similar topic. The essence of the conversation boils down to just 2 things:
- Nothing is achieved without action
- Only one thing stops you from taking necessary action and that’s YOU
Seriously, think about it for a moment. Think about anything you have achieved in your life, and think about how that came about. Did the opportunity walk up to you and hand everything over on a plate?
I doubt it was that easy, though occasionally it can happen that way. No, I’m fairly sure that for most of you, your main achievements came about when you had some thought or other, and you followed up on that with action.
This applies to everything; dating, getting married, achieving success, running a marathon, climbing a mountain, raising a family or getting a job.
So now think about all those things you wish you could do, all the things you intend to do “one day” and the things you have long since filed away in the “too hard” basket.
The only thing standing between you and achieving any (or all) of those things is your own inaction. It really is that simple.
