30-Day Motivation Challenge - Day 27 Take Action

Take Action. Two words that either inspire us or overwhelm us. In my life, I sometimes didn't know what actions to take. At other times, I knew what actions to take but I was overwhelmed by all that I needed to do.

Taking action doesn't mean knowing every step of your journey and doesn't mean doing everything all at once. It's like driving a car at night, you can only see what is directly in front of you. However, you can travel great distances without ever seeing the entire road. Staying with the driving analogy, it's also important that we don't spend time gazing into the rearview mirror. How are we supposed to move forward in life if we keep thinking about the past? You can't.

Practicals For Taking Action
Do what you can do today. If the amount is so much that you won't do it on a consistent basis, then it's too much for you at this time. Similar to someone that goes from no activity to going into a gym expecting to lift massive weight. That's not going to work, he or she needs to build muscle. In the same way, the amount of action you take daily builds like a muscle. Do what you can, then challenge yourself to do a little more, then a little more until you gain the moment to start taking massive action. Turn it into a game of beating personal records. Taking action can also get tiring, so it is important to remember why you're doing it. That "why" is going to drive you when your motivation is waning. Check out the video below, one of the speakers talks about the tides of motivation that we experience in life.
