Action: The Key To Goal Achievement
Miyamoto Musashi--arguably the greatest swordsman in the history of Japan--once wrote, "Do not waste time idling or thinking after you have set your goals."
One of the passages I love reads, "Do not waste time idling or thinking after you have set your goals."
There are many reasons that people procrastinate after setting their goals. Those reasons include things like fear and old-fashioned laziness. One of the cures for those and many other poisonous reasons is action. Right action.
From books, to research studies, to the internet, I've done a ton of research on goal achievement and it seems to me that most of the time is spent on aspects other than actions steps.
Maybe it's me, but it seems like most of the material on goal achievement primarily focuses other aspects of goal achievement while overlooking the crucial aspect of "action."
It's simple: action. The right action that is.
Visualizing your goals.
But don't get me wrong, there is enough data to prove that focusing on small, consistent action steps is the most crucial component of goal achievement.
Action. *Silence*
You already know that it really boils down to the actions you have taken. For most people, however, after setting, writing, and visualizing their goals, they take very little action. Not cool.
"Action. It's always your next move." I recently saw a poster with that phrase on it. The saying is attributed to Napoleon Hill. Although it is more than likely paraphrased (I looked through all of my Napoleon Hill material and couldn't find an exact match), the message is powerful.

An article I wrote called "What comes first, action or motivation?", explains how action gives birth to motivation. Although it may seem like it, it's not the other way around . Action is also the key to building momentum. Taking the right action creates strong momentum. Next comes the sense of increased self-efficacy. Then...achievement.
This is such a simple thing. Maybe that's why it's so difficult for many people. It's simple to do and simple not to do. So, remember, as soon as you start taking action, you are on the path to achieving your goals.
Maybe you have a goal that you've already been working on. That's awesome. Keep it going. Make sure you remain focused on your action steps. Keep in mind that it might be a good time to start developing an action plan for your next goal.
Whether it's your past, current, or future goals, it's time for some action!
Take the right action and eventually, success will be yours.
