"Action is always the best decision. Even movement in the wrong direction still gets you closer than standing still."
- unknown
Special thank you to my good friend and personal Realtor, Josh Anderson of Keller Williams, for sharing this story with me.
When you don't feel like doing what you know you must, that's the best time to go ahead and do it anyway. That's when you can break through your old habit patterns to a new level of focus, performance and achievement.
That first step will require you to go against your natural tendency to put it off until later and to stay comfortably where you are. So how do you get beyond that?
Use your power of visualization to do two things. First, use your thoughts to make it even more uncomfortable, even more painful for you not to take action.
Next, visualize in great detail all the positive and
desirable rewards you'll create by going ahead and getting it done. In your mind, make it so compelling to take action that you cannot avoid doing so.
Many times in the past, you've successfully avoided action by telling yourself why you can't or why you won't. Now, choose to use that same power to tell yourself why you can and why you will.
You control the awesome power of your thoughts. And with
your thoughts you can successfully visualize yourself into action every time.
Cheers,
Zach
