Skip to content Action is the missing link in most people’s quest for success.
They desire success; they dream and talk about it; they wish, hope, and pray for it but they never take actions that ensure success.
They even read books on it, attend seminars, solicit advice, make resolutions, strategize, generate potentially life transforming ideas, yet they never take action or persist in the action for as long as necessary.
Such people keep learning many valuable things but fail to apply what they learn. They forget that it is what they do with what they know that really counts – not just what they know.
As Tony Robbins, America’s foremost motivational guru rightly said, “In life, lots of people know what to do, but few people actually do what they know. Knowing is not enough! You must take action.”
Oftentimes, people do not achieve a desired success because although they intend to take action but they never do. Instead, they keep procrastinating and by postponing the action required, invariably they postpone the success they want.
The tragedy of life really is that the man who plans to utilise an opportunity at the 12th hour may have the opportunity withdrawn at the 11th hour.
Some others refuse to take action because of the risks involved, and as a result, while they don’t ‘fail’, they don’t succeed either. Some others take actions but the actions they take negate the essential requirements of the very success they aspire for.
