Not wanting to insult anyone’s intelligence, an ‘action’ is the process of ‘doing something.’ Let me explain further with a few humorous and a few serious quotations. QUOTES: “Push” will get a person almost everywhere – except through the door marked “pull.” (Author unknown) Deliberation is the work of many men. Action, of one alone. (Charles De Gaulle). “God gives us the ingredients for our daily bread, but he expects us to do the baking.” (Author unknown). Justice is truth in action. (Benjamin Disraeli). “No one ever climbed a hill just by looking at it.” (Author unknown). “The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.” (Author Unknown). “No farmer ever ploughed a field by turning it over in his mind.” (Author unknown). This week we are looking at how important ACTION is. Without action, nothing gets done. There are too many people with good intentions, so it would appear prudent for your own reputation, to always act out your promises. Children are very good at reminding you of your promises from yesterday, last week or even last year. For the purpose of this newsletter we are looking at how best to perform a positive action, and to notice how often we steer ourselves into negative actions. After you create a mental picture of what should be done next, action is the next process. People will judge you by your actions and not by your intentions. You may have a million steps to take, but the first step is the most difficult. Your state of mind is a key factor! If you are in a lethargic state of mind your first step will never happen. You need to be empowered. This may come from different sources for each different person. However as I am fully aware, empowering isn’t so difficult to achieve, one easy way is by avoiding the sluggish attitude that can engulf the body at times. If for example I intend to maintain the garden on a Saturday afternoon, then I shouldn’t drink a beer on the patio on Saturday lunch – lethargy sets in and no action takes place. If your soul is lifted, your actions are easy. If your soul is confused, your actions are also confused. If your state of mind is negative, your actions are negative. Action – the process of doing something. A physical action following a mental thought. Positive action is by far the most important, but it does help if you can recognise a negative action when it occurs. QUOTE: “If you want something doing, give it to a busy man.” (Author Unknown) Why would that quote be true? It would be because that man is making every action positive. Last week at my workplace I had one of my salespeople ask for a weekly listing of their earnings for the last six months. At that very moment, of which I can almost visualise now, I stared intently, wondering what the precise and real question was. Did they want a handwritten list so that they could compare notes with someone, did they want a duplicate copy of their wage slip, did they want me to read from the computer so they could take notes, did they want me to photocopy their weekly sales order sheets, did they want a history of every sales order they had completed, or what? It appeared that both the salesperson and I were not properly in gear. The question wasn’t specific enough, and I wasn’t fully attentive. In fact I know two emotions were in force, I would have been lethargic and secondly wallowing in my own self important role as a manager. This morning the salesperson asked the same question again. I was more in-tune. “You want it for your accountant,” A good mental attitude is our saviour. Our life has a magnetic pull towards what appears to be the easy way out of things. The easy pull, is the negative. But it is ‘as easy’ to be positive, we just need to practice! Have you ever had to make an important decision, or to make an important telephone call, and then thought I’ll sleep on it and do it tomorrow? An indication if you ever needed one that your inner self knows when you are at your best to deal with situations. To be in a positive frame of mind will activate positive ACTIONS! # # # Andria Bolton Editor, Author and Businesswomen Wisdom-and-Philosophy.com and How-to-be-Happy.co.uk http://www.convert- End
