Dear ,
I love that this month's
theme,
The Power of Action, is in
September. For me, I get excited about the beginning of Fall, my favorite season, because it always
feels like MY new year. In the summer months, I renew and rejuvenate
myself, usually by taking vacations, sleeping in a bit more and moving at a slower pace. I also journal about my day dreams and my next adventure; and I consider making adjustments for what I want to accomplish next. By the time this month rolls around and the
children are back in school, my energy level soars and I am ready to take
action.
The Power of Action is about taking inspired action toward your
goals. Be proactive, rather than reactive. Get going with all that you want to accomplish. And most of
all, take responsibility for starting and stopping, succeeding and failing. Many
people have great ideas about writing books, learning a new language, becoming
an artist, going back to school, starting a business, buying a home or opening
up to a new relationship. But without actually doing something about it, your
dreams will never become a reality.
Do something, anything to
make IT real, and BOLDLY move forward. You can always adjust your plans along
the way.
The Power of Action supports your purpose and passion; it allows you to take ownership and
responsibility; and it creates an immense opportunity to expand and learn from
every outcome. Below are some
"words of wisdom" to inspire you to take action:
- "What would you attempt to do if you knew you
could not fail?" - unknown
- "To accomplish great things, we must not only act,
but also dream; not only plan, but also believe." - Anatole France
- "The answer to
every action is a thought." - Emerson
- "Moving forward is like being a trapeze artist;
you cannot move from one swing to the other without letting go and being
suspended in mid-air without any support at all." - unknown
- "A vision without a task is a dream. A task without a dream is
drudgery. But a vision with a task
can change the world." - Black
Elk
What are you doing to get
moving? How will your actions shift your intentions and directly enhance what
you want in life? I suggest creating an action plan. So, decide what you want
(if you don't know, contact me.) Make your action item list that supports your
big life vision. Start with three compelling tasks that will move you toward
your dreams, do those and then pick three more. Here are my
inspired action items for this month to assist me in taking my business
to the next level as well as personally engaging in expanding my
culturally passionate areas of interest....
- I am submitting my book
for publication on September 14th (stay tuned for details).
- I am starting a 10-week
Italian language and wine tasting class on September 13th.
- I am capturing my next
few speaking engagements on video for an AWESOME speaking demo to be completed
in November.
My featured client this month
used her personal power to take focused action in her life. My hope for you is that
you will put your stake in the ground to use your gifts and talents AND take at
least one step in the direction of your ultimate dreams "POWER ON!"
