HOW TO GET INITIATIVE

I have been thinking about this recently.

And I thought I can share it with you...

What is your TRUE power?

What is YOUR true power as an individual human being?

Is it money?

Is it connections?

Is it knowledge?

Wisdom?

Intelligence?

All the above are potential energies.

A lot of people have them.

Not everyone has a lot, but everyone has something.

You, with your life experience, will definitely have some money saved up, some knowledge and experience gained through the years and some intelligence.

But what's the most powerful thing of this all?

NONE of the above...

None of these can be of any use if we do not use it.

In my life experience, I have learned a thing or two.

And I learned that, true power is always one thing:

The power of Getting Started.

Initiative.

Starting something is the most powerful thing.

Many people are more skilled than me.

Many people are having more resources than many successful people.

But the one thing that differentiates successful people from the others is that...

Successful people keep starting something new. They go from zero to one.

They don't keep thinking or planning for a long time.

They just start.

The is always a resistance inside us to start something new.

That's the laziness inside us.

We procrastinate things.

We tell a lie to ourselves and don't get started.

Perfect is the enemy of good.

We tell ourselves, if I do it, I will do it perfectly.

And then we never get started.

There is something called the law of diminishing intent.

If you got an idea or an inspiration to start something, your enthusiasm about it will be 10/10 when the idea came to you.

Within a few hours it will become like 9/10.

By the end of the day it will become 8/10.

After one week, your enthusiasm about that idea would be like 2/10.

Then by that time, you would have sold yourself that it is not a great idea after all.

What are you doing?

You are building a graveyard of dead ideas within yourself.

Ideas which could have changed the world, but never saw the light of the day.

Successful people have learned one thing from their life experience.

You got an idea?

Get started with it ASAP.

Successful people defeat a lot of people in their life.

They defeat the nay sayers.

They defeat their competitors.

They defeat evil with good intentions.

But those things are nothing.

Successful people can crush external negativity like bugs under their feet.

Because the biggest monster they fight everyday, is THEMSELVES.

The part of them that prevents them from getting started.

When inspiration for something hits, it is the most effective in the next one hour.

Some projects take longer time, like a business plan and execution is not as simple as this article I am writing.

But getting started with something gives it life. And it takes a life of its own.

You will be powering it with your resources, but it gathers momentum.

How do you apply this in real life?

"Success comes to those who become sucess conscious".

"There are no limitations to the mind  except those we acknowledges, both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought".

                                                 - Nepolion Hill

My entire life has been continually driven by a singular, compelling focus : what makes the difference in the quality of people's lives.

How is it that so often people from such humble beginning and devastating backgrounds  manage in spite of it all to create lives that inspires us?

Conversely, why do many of those born into privileged environments, with every success at their fingertips, end up fat, frustrated, and often chemically addicted?

What makes some people's life an example and other's warnings?

What is the "secret that creates passionate, happy and greatful" lives in many, while for others the refrain might be , is that all there is?

"My own magnificent obsession began with some simple question":

"How can I take immediate control of my life?"

"What can I do today that can make a difference-that could help me and others to shape our destinies?"

"How can I expand, learn, grow, and share that knowledge with others in a meaningful and enjoyful way?"

"A belief that we're all here to contribute something unique, that deep within each of us lies a special gift".

You see, I truly believe we all have a sleeping gaint within us.

Each of us has a talent, a gift, our own bit of genius just waiting to tapped.

It might be a talent of "art" or "music", it might be a "special way of relating to the ones you love", it might be a "genius for selling" or "innovating" Or "reaching out in your business or your career".

I choose to believe that our creator doesn't play favourites, that "we've all been created unique", with "equal opportunities" for experiencing life to the fullest.

Through it all, I've continued recognise the "power of individuals that have to change virtually anything and everything" in their lives in an instant.

"I've learned that the resources we need to turn our dreams into reality are within us, merely waiting for the day when we decide to wake up and claim our birthright".

Dreams of Destiny

"All you are or ever shall become is the result of the use to which you put your mind".

                                                   Nopolion Hill...

 We all have dreams....we all want to believe deep down in our souls that we have a special gift, that we can make a difference, that we can touch others in a special way, and that we can make The world a better place.

 At one time in our lives, we all had a vision for the quality of life that we desire or deserve.

Yet for many of us, those dreams have become so shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make efforts to accomplish them.

 For far too many, the dreams are dissipated- and with it, so has the will to shape our destinies.

Many have lost that sense of certainty, that creates the winner's edge. 

My life's quest has been to restore the dream and to make it real, to get each of us to reminder and use the unlimited power that lies sleeping within  us all.

I learned to harness the principle I Now call concentration of power.

Most people have no idea of the gaint capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives .

Controlled focus is like a laser beam that can cut through anything that seems to be stopping you.

When we focus consistently on improvement in any area, we develop unique distinctions on how to make that area better.

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly  Want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. 

Most people dabble their way  through life, never deciding to master anything in particular .

In fact , I believe most people fail in life simply because they major in minor things.

I  believe that one of life's major lessons is learning to understand what makes us do what we do. 

What shapes human's behaviour?

The answer is to this question provide critical keys to shaping your own destiny.

                                            

Belief system

"Create a vision and never let the environment, other people's beliefs or the limits of what has been in the past shape your decision"

What you think about anything in your life is the outcome of your belief system which has been created throughout the years. 

You can't change your thoughts instantly about anything and no one change it for you. 

You have unconsciously decided what you will acept or what not, it's not what you say about anything you have already decided what you will say about anything if someone ask anything from you.

Everything around you, Your family members, Your friends, your teachers, all the places where you go, where you live, where you see, what you hear, what you think are responsible for the creation  of your belief system.

Every new experience you face in your life make some contribution to the development of your belief system, it may be positive  which can empower your dreams and desires or it may be negative Which will destroy them, it either lead you to the road of success or failure. 

So you are on your right path, First Take a Look of Your Life.

Turn your dreams into reality

Most people who constantly say, "Let's be realistic," are really  living in , deathly afraid to being disappointed again. Out of that fear, they develop belief that cause them to hesitate, to not give thier all - consiquently they get limited results. Great leaders are rarely "Realistic".
