Get Moving Toward Your Goals with Radical Action
If you like this article:
- Rabindranath Tagore
Statistics predict that about 45% of you are setting up your goals and resolutions for the New Year. Unfortunately, in six months 46% of the 45% will have lost contact with those resolutions.
It is part of our human nature to be ever evolving, setting goals, and heading towards something. It is a wonder to me that there are so many people helping so many people accomplish what they want to do. You’d think it would be easier than that.
What really gets in the way? After 30 years of working with people to help them get where they want to go, I find that the number one reason that people don’t get what they say they want is that they just don’t take action. Not enough action. Not inspired action. Not prolonged action. Not considered action. Not informed action.
We live a lot of our life in our heads. Visualization and imagery are important parts of goal attainment. But when you spend more time visualizing, imagining and thinking about your goals, resolutions and intentions than you do carrying them out, that is pretty much where they are likely to stay - in your head.
It is true that you can not make something happen by forcing it into manifestation. So action designed to manipulate results hardly ever works. And you have very little direct control on the results of your actions. All you can be committed to is taking the inspired action and regulating your relationship with the actions you take.
The reason that people don’t take action is because they really prefer what they are doing now or they definitely don’t like the action that is needed to get the results they want. Sure we would like the results to already be in place. But we are just not that keen on doing the things to bring about those results.
What you are doing now and the life you are living now are perfectly aligned to give you the results that you have now. If you want something different you have to do something different. This is so obvious that we tend to let it slip by us without really grasping its meaning. The more truthful we are with ourselves the more we will notice that things around us are not changing because we are not changing. If we want the results around us to fundamentally change, we have to fundamentally change and take fundamentally different actions than we are taking now.
If you want radically new results (not just a rehash of the same old same old), you have to take radically new actions. And for most of us, radically new actions are scary.
So, what to do…?
The short answer is to just do something - anything - radically different. It would be nice if it is an inspired radical action that has something to do with your intended goal. But even if the radical new action does not seem to be directly connected to your intended goal – try it anyhow.
Doing anything radically different is like a passport to a New World where there is a new you waiting. Take a calculated risk. A strategic chance. A considered tactic. Don’t hurt yourself - don’t gamble away everything in one play. But do take a leap.
You can not travel to a New World if you are taking the same old train every day. Be bold. Be outrageous. Get used to being scared and feeling out of place and just do something radically new.
Some radical new actions for 2006:
-
Run for public office
-
Submit a book proposal
-
Ask your sweetheart to marry you
-
Apply to go on the Amazing Race
-
Audition at a Broadway theater
-
Become a news reporter
-
Find out if you have food allergies
-
Take a Vision Quest
-

-
Go back to school
-
Get the best lipid profile you have ever had
-
Find out if you have adrenal stress
-
Start eating fresh food
-
Get a handle on your brain chemistry
-
Volunteer at your local Habitat for Humanity
Or some other radically, outrageous action calling to you. Be bold. Be brave. Be radically different this year and see what shows up.
"Vision is not enough, it
must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps,
we must step up the stairs."
-Vaclav Havel
