Words Without Actions

Not long ago, I was interviewing two people applying for the
same position. When the first candidate was asked what her
goals were, Becky replied that continuous learning was her
goal. When asked what steps she had taken to accomplish her
goal, Becky said that she was going to sign up for a course
in the fall.

The next candidate had a similar goal, but, in this case,
Rebecca had actually taken several courses to help her
achieve what she wanted. This action showed not only did
Rebecca have a goal; she had been implementing an action
plan to achieve here desired results.

In the end Rebecca had created stress for herself in using
"words without action". When you find yourself in stressful
situations, rather than using words to reduce your stress,
take action to create less stress in your life.

A great way to take action is to set goals for your life.
Setting goals and taking action can result in less stress in
your life. It prepares you for other opportunities. It gives
you a focus on the future rather than being stuck where you
are.

So often people are stressed but do little to reduce their
stress. Setting goals for yourself is the first step in
changing your life. But more importantly, taking action
towards achieving these goals will actually create less
stress in your life, as you will see yourself progressing
towards "a goal that you want".

To achieve more, be a person of action. Throughout your day
Keep in mind the old saying, "all else fails without
action". As you put forth effort on the things you deem to
be most worthwhile, you will find that your inner belief
system grows.

The beliefs you hold about yourself determine the goals you
are able to manifest in your life. Dream big, for when you
do, truly you will see that your life becomes one filled
with rich life experiences.
