Understanding and Application of Ideas to Reach Your Goals

It matters not so much what you know. It matters that you understand and apply that knowledge to attain the desired end result: your goals. To achieve your goals, you must be willing to risk being unsuccessful at achieving them. At least this applies in the beginning. You do have to move beyond the thinking and planning. There comes a time when nothing less than action is acceptable.

Planning has its purpose. It helps you to be clear in your thought processes. But planning will not actually move you closer to the manifestation phase of any goal-seeking campaign. Only action will do this.

Like Riding a Bicycle

Consider getting someplace on a bicycle. You must first learn how to ride the bike. You can study it all you want, but you will not learn to balance the bike (Necessary to ride it) until you actually climb on and get it moving in a forward direction. You risk falling down, but how do you learn without taking this “risk”?

When considering the risk factor, keep in mind that nonsuccess, not achieving your desired goal, does not entail complete and utter failure. It is simply necessary feedback that can be used to correct your course and move you closer to your desired goal, rather than further away from it.

Notice the word course entails that you are moving. Without movement you are going nowhere. Like and airplane or a guided missile, course correction in the process of reaching the targeted destination is standard operating procedure.

You need to take in this same mindset when going for your goals. There again, did you notice the wording? I said “going” for your goals. This means action.

Another way to think of it is in the familiar phrase “lights, camera, action!” Lights means you first must learn something about the goal you hope to achieve. Camera should remind you that you then need to focus on the details, what is necessary for you to get there. Don’t worry about that which is not essential to moving you forward. Finally there is the word action. This needs no explanation. And notice it is said with an exclamation point. Action!

Take this advice and run with it. There it is again. “Run” with it. Do this. Do that. I don’t care what you do, but you have to do something. If it’s the wrong thing, you’ll find out soon enough, if you actually do it. If you do nothing, you will never really know.

Most of all have fun while you are learning. Remembering how you got there once you do get there will allow you to then help others along the way. This is the real reward for success. Enjoy your journey and let me know if I may help you.

To your success,
