Are you a person of action?
I Am A Person Of Action – this is another of
Andy Andrews’ seven decisions that determine personal success.
And here is why Andy views
this decision as so important.
Creating your new future
means creating a new you. And that implies taking action to change
the decisions you’ve been making, changing the thoughts you’ve been
thinking and changing the actions you’ve been making.
You have a vision of where
you are going and now you are the leader in your life taking
decisive action to move yourself closer to that vision.
In his book, The
Traveler’s Gift Journal, Andy Andrews talks about creating a “habit
of lively behaviour” because “wealth and prosperity hide from
the sluggard”.
We have already pointed out
that successful people make their decisions quickly and change their
mind slowly.
Understand that the world is
full of opportunities, but if you choose inaction, the opportunities
pass you by.
I see this so often.
I see people get caught in
analysis paralysis over whether or not to seize the opportunity that
is in front of them.

It may be a business opportunity or new business idea. Or it may be an
investment or a financial opportunity. Or perhaps it’s a new job offer.
I see them become so hesitant
to make a decision about whether they are in or they are out that they
literally choose not to take any action. And so then the opportunity is
gone.
Have you ever had any regrets
over an action you chose not to take? An investment opportunity that you
passed up which could have made you a fortune? A great idea that was worth
a million bucks, but you sat on it and someone else has run with it?
What is the pattern of
behaviour in your own life?
More importantly, what are
the opportunities you have right now that merely require you to take the
action.
Remember, you are the CEO of
you – the leader of your own life. What would you expect the CEO of you to
do?
Be the leader.
Be courageous. Seize
the moment.
Be a person of action and
move steadfastly forward on the path towards your dreams.
And Take action today. |
