Taking Action-Ouch!

Thought to Ponder . . .Never mistake motion for action.
I read the book, sat on the sidelines at dances, talked the talk but didn’t get off my duff to actually dance. I dreamed I was mister dancing king, I fantasized what it would feel like, but when it came time to dance, reality was much different than fantasy!

I wanted to dance badly, and finally and reluctantly, I got someone to teach me in private. When I took action, I got results. Funny how that works.

I read a lot of blogs and stories done by people who profess to want a much improved life with dramatically changed behaviour. I see many at meetings; talk with many as part of my coaching practise and after speaking engagements. I know for certain the only way to get results is to take action, and as with athletes, many need a “coach” to push them. Coaches come in many forms. The following is true in my own life and the lives of many. Forget the reference to AA and booze if it doesn’t fit and plug in any aspect of life you want to turn around! Quit talking and TAKE ACTION. Nike has it right….”JUST DO IT”.

“One of the most important things AA has given me, in addition to freedom from booze, is the ability to take "right action."
It says the promises will always materialize if I work for them.
Fantasizing about them, debating them, preaching about them and faking them just won't work. “

I sincerely hope this strikes a cord with some who read this. Too many want to make major change in their life and/or claim to be in some form of recovery. They get caught in the “cosmic void” of life, and forget that to get the life you want there is only one path, and that path requires that YOU take action. Want to talk about what action looks like or need a kick start, maybe I can help. Feel free to make contact at khbray@rogers.com or through my coaching site, www.hopeserenity.ca- a place of action!
