INTENTION VS. ACTION ... The Best Of Both will Create Two Totally Different Outcomes

"It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped" -Anthony Robbins


PROCRASTINATION IS THE BAD HABIT OF PUTTING OFF UNTIL THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE THE DAY BEFORE YESTERDAY.

For an achiever, perhaps the most dangerous, most destructive habit of all is procrastination, for it robs you of your initiative. When you put things off once, it’s easier to put them off again, until the habit is so firmly ingrained that it cannot be easily broken.

Sadly, the effects of the habit of procrastination are also cumulative. Its cure is obvious-action. You’ll be surprised how quickly you begin to feel better about yourself and your situation when you get going on something-anything. As British prime minister and author Benjamin Disraeli said, "Action may not always bring happiness; but there is no happiness without action."


THE HABITUAL PROCRASTINATOR IS ALWAYS AN EXPERT CREATOR OF ALIBIS.


If you are so inclined, you can always find dozens of reasons why something can’t or should not be done-and precious few why it should or could. It is far easier to rationalize that it’s too difficult, too expensive, or too time-consuming than to accept the idea that if we are willing to work hard enough, smart enough, and long enough we can accomplish anything. Instead of making a commitment, we make up an alibi. If you find that you frequently invent excuses for why you didn’t do something or have a million reasons why something didn’t work out as planned, it’s time for a reality check. Stop explaining and start doing!

INTENTION VS. ACTION ... The Best Of Both will Create Two Totally Different Outcomes

So let's talk about this. Intention is something that we all have. For example, I intend to get to the gym today, or I will definitely get to that tomorrow .... You all know what I am referring to.

Whereas, actually getting off your butt and getting to the gym, or working on your Personal Development today, so you can have the necessary paradigm shift to take responsibility for the difference between knowing and doing. We all fall into this at times in our lives. For the majority of people though, you starve the ACTION and you feed the INTENTION.

Let's flip it. If you know what you should be doing, do it NOW. Get stuff done, instead of thinking about getting it done, or planning to get it done.

Get in touch with me today and I will give you some exercises that will flip the switch. We will work on defining your goals and setting forth a plan of action to achieve them, finally, once and for all!

Let's talk about my Home Business Franchise, that is creating change, every day, in every way, in peoples lives. all over the world!

Your Choice ... Whine & Complain or Learn The Lesson & Prevail

"Love and Loss" ... article by Steve Jobs creator of Apple Computers


"I was lucky. I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started?

Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT.

I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple.
It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers."

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking.

Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better
and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

A personal note from Robin:
I love what what I do from the moment I wake up, till my eyes gently close when I go to sleep each night. The passion I have to share my knowledge as a Success Coach and Personal Development Trainer, never lets up.

"The Dash" Watch This 3 Minute Inspirational Movie & Post Your Comments

Two years ago Simple Truths released this 3 minute inspirational movie for "The Dash."
It's been an unbelievable success, in that 30 million people have viewed it from around the world. And the feedback as to how it has touched and changed lives has been amazing!

Life works in strange ways. Joseph Epstein once said, "We do not choose to be born. We do not choose our parents, or the country of our birth. We do not, most of us, choose to die; nor do we choose the time and conditions of our death. But within this realm of choicelessness, we do choose how we live."

That's what "The Dash" is all about.
This is another must see inspirational
3 minute movie,
sent to me from "Simple Truths."

Now, some of you may not be in 100% alignment with the above quote from
J. Epstein, however, as you watch this movie,
I challenge you to think about your dash, your life, and the meaning attached to it.

Be sure to add to your feedback about The Dash and how it effected you, and I will be sure to post them ... let's share this inspirational movie with others from all around the world. We all have great purpose and meaning in life ... when shared with others, we will effect a flow of positive change worldwide.
Let your dash be a part of that change!
