Goal Achievers

By now (hopefully) we’ve developed our goals for the New Year and have created a solid plan, system, or method to track them.  The next step is easy…well easy in theory but often difficult in practice.  The next step is to take action. 

Believe it or not, action is required to accomplish our goals this year and without it, nothing will happen.  That’s right we must take action.  Now you may be saying this is extremely obvious, but unfortunately many of us never get to this point.  That’s right, many people are what I call “goal setters” instead of “goal achievers.”  Each year they set goals, often very inspiring and compelling goals, only to never take any action toward accomplishing them.  Let’s not let that happen to us.  Let’s take the next step which is action. 

I believe most people do not take action because of fear.  We may fear failing, or are afraid of standing out and actually accomplishing something, or we fear change or perhaps we have other fears.  Whatever the reasons may be, whether because of fear or other things, let’s not let them hold us back this year.  Let’s put them aside and take action.  Once we act, there is no going back.  Once we’ve driven to the gym and actually picked up the weights, no one can take that away from us, it cannot be undone.  So let’s act today. 

In 2013 let’s be “goal achievers.”  Action is critical, in fact, it is absolutely necessary for our success.  So let’s act without delay!    Here’s to a great 2013!
