(upbeat music) - Hello, and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast, where we will discuss topics, ideas, questions, and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Ann Bakrak. Today we're gonna talk about taking action now so you can achieve your goals sooner. Wouldn't it be great if you could have everything you wanted out of life magically appear with the snap of a finger? Well, unfortunately, as the old adage says, "You can't get something for nothing." The secret to achieving your goals boils down to one thing, taking action. There isn't some magic gene that is only given to a select few at birth. Achieving your goals is an inherent ability in all of us. You can achieve absolutely any goal you imagine, so long as you get moving in the right direction now. One of the benefits of taking action is that your progress is the very thing that bridges the gap between imagining a dream and manifesting it. In other words, action equals results. That's not to say that the road to goal achievement is free of challenges. Working towards your goals is rarely simple, but if you ask someone who has reached their goals, if the hard work was worth the reward, I'll bet they'll tell you yes. The cost of taking action far outweigh the pain of living a life that is using only a fraction of your potential. You can make the leap from living a life that seems out of your control and taking the reins of your future. When you realize the power you hold and the benefits of taking action, your life will never be the same. Eleanor Roosevelt said, "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." At any given moment, you have three choices, is how I look at it. Number one, give up on ever achieving your goals. Not one I would choose. Number two, procrastinate taking action in hopes that you'll get serious about your goals, sometime in the future. Maybe that would happen, mostly not likely. Number three, achieve your goals now and realize your dreams. If you find yourself leaning towards the first option, which was give up on ever achieving your goals, understand that sometimes it's easier not to work hard to achieve your goals because you just aren't willing to put in the time and effort, and that's okay if that's really your choice. But beware, fear of failure and disappointment will keep you trapped in a mediocre life that is so much less than you deserve. You were born with the potential to succeed, and anyone that tells you differently is just plain wrong. If you knew that you were born for a life of success and that achieving your goals is your destiny, would you find it easier to justify the efforts required for the pursuit of your dreams? Well, the truth is your success is inevitable. Failure is just something we learn from our environment, and failure is not part of our inherent nature. You only have one life, so make the best of your time. If you're serious about your goals, but not ready to take the first step yet, ask yourself, what am I waiting for? You've already overcome the biggest obstacle by choosing to make a change in your life. Do you really wanna wait for the results? Ask yourself the following question. If I could have anything in the world right now, what would it be? Now, close your eyes and imagine having what you want. Feel it, be in it, breathe it in. Paint a picture of your happiness in your mind. How do you feel? Now tell me how delaying that good feeling could possibly benefit you. You deserve everything you are imagining. Quit postponing your inevitable success and start working towards your goals today. Remember, it's not about working harder. It's about working smarter and working on the right things each day. The right things are your highest payoff activities. Making these tasks a priority will help you achieve your goals in the timeframe that you've set. With an accountability coach on your team or someone else in your court to help you, there is a higher probability that you will achieve your goals sooner. If you're ready to take the next step, if you've already feel the fire and know that you want more out of your life, then you're ready to begin. Let's get to work. The following four principles will help you reshape the way you think and prepare you to achieve your goals. Number one, remove the words try and can't from your vocabulary. Despite which you may have learned in elementary school, there is no such thing as try. Either you do or you don't. You will either commit to achieving your goals or you won't. It's just that simple. Trying to achieve your goals is not the same as committing to achieve them. The same idea applies to the word can't. As you know, can't is a contraction for the word cannot. If you say you cannot do something, you are saying that you are not physically capable of doing that thing. So unless you have a legitimate physical disability that limits your ability to take action necessary to move forward, the word cannot, does not apply. Number two, fear is not an excuse. Fear is never an excuse for not taking action. Maybe you are exactly where you are right now because you have been too fearful to step outside your comfort zone. To get where you want to be, you have to feel the fear and move forward anyway. After you take action, you will wonder what you were so afraid of in the first place. Fear is only temporary. The benefits of taking action last forever. Have you ever been nervous or afraid to do something only to realize your fear was disproportionate to the reality afterwards? Number three, take action. Taking action creates support. Will the minute you start taking action to achieve your goals, the universe will rush to support you. The trick is to let the universe know you mean business. The support of friends and associates and other unlikely saviors will come to your rescue as soon as you show the universe you are committed to achieving your goals. Now, note that I don't mean universe in the cosmic sense. People respond to you taking action. People realize you are serious when you take action. Number four, quit talking the talk and start walking the walk. Talking about taking action and actually taking action are not the same thing. You have to get busy if you want to get to where you want to be. Your path to goal achievement is like a journey. The sooner you start walking, the sooner you'll get there. If you want to achieve your goals within the time frame you desire, quit wasting time and procrastinating. Start today by just doing what you know you need to do. Life is not a predetermined set of circumstances. Life is what you make of it. When you commit to achieving your goals, you'll soon realize how much power you actually possess. Have faith that we were programmed for success and that you are already equipped with all the tools and resources you need to reach out and grab your dreams. Keep your focus on your goals and know that the benefits of taking action far exceed the investment. Ralph Waldo Emerson says, "The future belongs to those who prepare for it." Begin enjoying the experience of an even greater quality of life and total life balance. Aim for what you want each and every day. Until next time, make it a great day. And every day.
