SELF IMPROVEMENT - THE KEY TO ACHIEVING AND ACCOMPLISHING YOUR VISIONS.
From dawn to the time you the sun sets, we are usually faced with myriad of issues that need our attention. Whether at home or at our places of work, the tasks required of us can be overwhelming. In order to ease the day's activities it is important to plan your day, in short prioritize. Planning is absolutely vital for self development. If you do not plan then achieving success in life will always remain a mirage.
It is important to be alert and be able to forecast what will be trendy in future. Constantly, the world is changing in all fields and it therefore becomes important to change with the times in order to remain relevant now and in the future. Successful people in society are those who can foresee or predict what will be needed if future and go ahead to plan on how they will take advantage of the situation.
Prudent planning also involves setting goals and having a vision for tomorrow. Some people like saying that "tomorrow never comes," I completely disagree with them. This notion makes some people not to plan claiming that tomorrow will take care of it's self. Having achievable goals will direct you to the path that will lead you to your vision.
It will be futile to plan and not take steps to implement what you have set to do. Do you have plans that you have shelved arguing that you are waiting for favorable conditions so as to execute? I would suggest that you take the initiative and put the plans into action today.
Five Reasons Why people don’t take action into actualizing their dreams.
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 disempowers 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.
