According to Don Miguel Ruiz, “ACTION is about living fully. Inaction is the way that we deny life. Inaction is sitting in front of the television every day for years because you are afraid to be alive and to take the risk of expressing what you are. Expressing what you are is taking action. You have many great ideas in your head, but what makes the difference is action. Without action upon an idea, there will be no manifestation, no results and no reward.”
Is there something that you have been thinking about doing? Have you been feeling stuck? Afraid of failing? Afraid of succeeding? It's time to do something about it. It's time to take ACTION – to ACT ON IT. Just take the first step.
Sit down and look at your idea and ask yourself – “How can I?” then brainstorm some ways you can – don't limit yourself, you can review your responses later. Just write down whatever comes into your head, no matter how silly it may seem at the time. Sometimes the silly ideas are the ones that work best.
Once you have run out of ideas for “how can I?”, sit down and evaluate them – think about how they might work, then choose the best one to take Action on.
The first step is always the hardest. Once you have taken the first step, the others will follow.
