Taking Action

Often someone will say something like this “Well, I listened to the tape for three months and nothing happened”
Words were present.
Thoughts were present.
But action was not.
Meditating with a tape on what you want is OK, but, very often people stay focused on the lack on what they do not have. Focus on what you do not have is going to attract more of that.
It is like the people who try to lose weight or create a relationship.
“I want to lose weight”
“I want a boyfriend ”
The people who get thin don’t say, I want to lose weight.
The people who create relationship, don’t say, I want a lover.

If you want something, you have to have the feeling for it. Saying “I want” and having the corresponding feeling keep your attractor field in the lack, but, if you feel that you have then you can create a compatible attractor field with the object of your desire.

Most goals achievement will require you to take some forms of action. May be, you want to create a relationship but you do not have the right beliefs, your limiting beliefs block this to happen therefore the obvious action will be to change the limiting beliefs and build new supporting beliefs to your goal.

If you have been unsuccessful at getting what you want, the obvious action will be to search for the cause. Limiting beliefs , bad plan, lack of discipline, procrastination…
Only yourself can find out why you didn’t get what you want.

Take action !

6. Create Personal Initiative

By Napoleon Hill , excerpt:

The adoption of a definite major purpose
The motivation to act continuously in pursuit of that purpose
A mastermind alliance to acquire the power to attain that purpose
Self-reliance
Self-discipline
Persistence, based upon the will to win
Well-developed imagination, controlled and directed
The habit of prompt, definite decision making
The habit of basing opinions on known facts, not guesswork
The habit of going the extra mile
The capacity to generate enthusiasm at will and control it
A well-developed sense of details
The capacity to listen to criticism without resentment
Familiarity with the ten basic human motives
The capacity to concentrate attention on one task at a time
Assuming full responsibility for one’s own actions
Willingness to accept full responsibility for the mistakes of subordinates
Patience with subordinates and associates
Recognizing the merits and abilities of others
A positive mental attitude at all times
The capacity for applied faith
The habit of following through
The habit of emphasizing thoroughness instead of speed
Dependability

No doubt many of these qualities are already familiar to you. You may think, “I’ve
already got that.” But it is the nature of the Seventeen Principles of Success that each
depends upon the others, and you can’t develop one without relying upon and developing
others at the same time. How can you develop faith without applying it through personal
initiative?
And how can you have personal initiative without a definite purpose to carry
out? You can’t.
