7 Thoughts on the Idea of Taking Action

PostDateIcon August 16th, 2010 | PostAuthorIcon Author: Avil Beckford

I have been having fun just letting my mind wander and explore various ideas and see where it ends up. I hope that you enjoy this journey with me. Today, I have decided to explore the idea of taking action. Do you think it’s possible to achieve great success without taking action?

  1. The Law of Attraction has become very popular since the movie The Secret was released. Many people believe that they can attract anything, and achieve their goals simply by visualizing them. Is it possible to achieve your goals without taking action?
  2. Luck = Opportunity + Preparedness. Is it possible to prepare without taking action?
  3. According to Dorothea Brande in her book, Wake Up and Live! – her formula for success is act as if it were impossible to fail. If your success were guaranteed, what actions would you take?
  4. Looking at the major successes in your life to date, how did you achieve them? What kind of actions did you take?
  5. Would the great thinkers and innovators of yesterday have accomplished so much if they didn’t take action?
  6. I saw the following formula – Innovation = Meaningful Idea + Action. I would like to change the formula to Innovation = Great Idea + Purposeful Action. Innovation also occurs when you blend old ideas in ways they haven’t been combined before. What are your thoughts?
  7. If our forefathers and mothers hadn’t taken action, would we enjoy the freedom and rights we have today?

There are no guarantees in life, but should that stop you from taking action? I personally do that think that anyone can attain spectacular success without taking action. What do you have to add to the conversation? Let’s keep the conversation flowing, please let me know your thoughts in the comments section below. Many readers read this blog from other sites, so why don’t you pop over to The Invisible Mentor and subscribe (top on the right side) by email or RSS Feed.
