The truth is that even in the information age, information is not enough. If all we needed were ideas and positive thinking, then we all would have had ponies when were kids and we would all be living our dream life now. Actin is what unites every great success. Action is what produces results. Knowledge in only potential power until it comes into the hands of someone who knows how to get himself to take effective action, In fact the literal definition of the word power is the ability to act.
What we do in life is determined by how we communicate to ourselves. In the modern world, the quality of life is the quality of communication. What we picture and say to our facial expressions will determine how much of what we know we will use.
Often we get caught in the metal trap of seeing enormously successful people and thinking they are there they are because they have some special gift. Yet a closer took shows that the greatest gift that extraordinarily successful people have over the average person is their ability to get themselves to take actions. It is a gift that any of us can develop within ourselves. After all, other people had the same knowledge Steve Jobs did. People other than Ted Turner could have figure out that cable had enormous economic potential. But Turner and Jobs were able to take action and by doing so, they changed the way many of us experience the world.
We all produce two forms of communication from which the experience of our life is fashioned. First, we conduct internal communications, those things we picture, say and feel within ourselves. Second, we experience external commutations. Every communication we make is an actions, a use set in motion. And all communication have some kind of effect on ourselves and on theories.
Communication is power. Those who have mastered its effective use can change their own experience of the world and the world’s experience of them. All behavior and feelings find their original roots in some form of communication. Those who affect the thoughts, feelings and actions of the majority of us are those who know how to use this tool of power. Think of the people who have changed our world. They were able to take their vision, whether it was to transport people into space or to create a hate filled and communicate it to others with such congruency that influenced the way the masses thought and acted. Through their communication power, they changed the world.
It is important to remember that emotions like depression do not happen to you. You do not catch depression. You crate it, like every other result in your life, through specific metal and physical actions, In order to be depressed, you have to view your life in specify ways. You have to say certain things to yourself in just the right tones of voice. You have to adopt a specify posture and breathing pattern, For example, if you wish to be depressed, it helps tremendously if you collapse you shoulders and look down a lot. Speaking in a sad sounding tone of voice and thing of the worst possible scenarios of your life also helps. If you throw your biochemistry into turmoil through poor diet or excessive alcohol or drug use, you assist your body in creating low blood sugar and thus virtually guarantee depression.
People who have attained excellence follow a consistent path to success called ultimate success formula. The first step to this formula is to know your outcome, this is to define precisely what you want. The second step is to take action, otherwise your desires will always be dreams. You must take the types of actions you believe will create the greatest probability of producing the result you desire. The actions we take do not always produce the results we desire, so the third step is to develop the sensory acuity to recognize the kinds of responses and results you are getting from your actions and to note as quickly as possible if they are taking you closer to your goals or father away. You must know that you are getting from your actions, whether it be in a conversation or from your daily habits in life. If what you are getting is not what you want, you need to note what results your actions have produced so that you learn from every human experience. And then you take the fourth step, which to stop develop the flexibility to change your behavior until you get what you want. If you look at successful people, you will find they followed these steps. They started with target, because you cannot hit one if you do not have one. They took actions, because just knowing is not enough. They had the ability to read other, to know what response they were getting. And the kept adopting, kept adjusting, kept changing their behavior until they found what worked.
A successful person was asked once if he and any one piece of advice he could give people on how to succeed. He said that success is simple. First, you decide what you want specifically and second, you decide you are willing to pay the price to make it happen and then pay that price. If you do not take that second step, you will never have what you want in the long term. I like to call the people who know what they want and are willing to pay the price to get it the few who do versus the many who talk.
