How many times have you wanted a change? Many times I would guess, but why when you want to make that change, you don't. So in this post you will explore the 5 reasons why you are not taking the action that you should be taking.
Many people read
books, listen to tapes, make plans and set goals but never take action. On
another front, most people often take action but never are consistent with the
action taken. It is not the one time action taken that creates the result that
you anticipate. It is consistent action that is congruent and toward your
desired outcome that will produce the kind of results that you envisage. Your
action must not be taken haphazardly if lasting and meaningful results are to
be achieved. Consistency therefore, must be built into the action taken toward
your goals or objectives.
The question is why
is it that most people do not take the necessary action on their goals and
objectives?
1. Lack of focus:
This is one single factor why most people do not take action to do what they are
expected to do in order to achieve the result they so much desire. In our world
today there are so many things vying for your attention and the ability to stay
focus on those things that will move you in the direction of your goals is
critical to your success. A basic truism that I have discovered over the years
as a pastor and success facilitator is that where you place your focus, the
rest of your mind and emotions will gravitate.
2. Lack of clarity:
Clarity is vital if you are ever going to take any meaningful step to
accomplishing your objectives. When your ideas are fuzzy and unclear it only
but diminish and affect your desire to take action. The truth is that most
people do not have clarity of what it is they want to achieve which in the
final analysis prevents them from taking action. Consequently, lack of clarity dis-empowers a lot of people from taking action on their goals and objectives.
3. Ideas are not
organized into doable: Most people that I have worked with all have brilliant
ideas and great thoughts of what it is they want out of life but fail to act on
them. As a result, these ideas and thoughts are never actualized because these
individuals never take action on these ideas. This is so because these ideas
and thoughts are not organized into doable activities. Organizing your thoughts
and ideas into doable activities will help propel you into action.
4. Procrastination:
This is one of the enemies of any action-oriented activity. This is the
tendency that most people have. They refrain from pushing forward or putting
activities that should be done now on hold. This leads to a pile up of
activities to the point where the task to be accomplished become daunting
leading to a situation where action is never taken to do what ought to have
been done to achieved the anticipated expectation.
5. Lack of a
develop plan: Not having a developed plan of action will hinder any significant
action taken to achieve anything. The action steps to be taken in order to get
things done must be written down. This will serve as an incentive to actually
do what you have to do to achieve your goals and objectives.
It is imperative to
understand that what you are bringing into your life and the measure of success
you will achieve are all being decided by the action you are taking right now.
With that thought in mind go to work today and start taking the actions that
will move you closer to achieving your goals.
