This broken clock is right twice a day… However, it isn’t useful at all!
When we are right and we don’t do anything about it, we are like this broken clock… totally useless!
When we say wise and beautiful words, and then, our actions don’t follow our words, our great ideas are as useless as this broken clock!
It doesn’t matter if we are right if we don’t do anything about it.
This is the reason why this post is about taking action.
Taking action might be analyzed in three basic aspects:
1. Why you should take action
2. How you should take action
3. When you should take action
1. Why you should take action
You should act because actions are magical and powerful.
When you do certain actions, using your body, for example, you exercise certain muscles, so these muscles get used to the action, these muscles get more flexible, and these muscles get stronger…
The actions that you do again and again become easier to do…
Your skills, talents and blessings improve only through practice, in other words, through continuous action…
Repeated actions create powerful habits and these powerful habits will mold your destiny.
When you smile, the possibilities of somebody else smiling back to you are really high… and this person could smile to another, creating a chain reaction….
On the other hand, a person that becomes upset because of you, could generate more upset people, creating again a chain reaction…
Slight changes in your actions will make a big difference in the Universe.
2. How you should take action
Every time we take action, we are making a choice between Love and Fear.
When we experience Love, Abundance, Joy and similar positive feelings, we feel powerful, we feel that nobody is able to harm us,
We feel great and in this condition, we will show the best of us!
On the contrary, when we experience feelings of fear, scarcity, suffering and this kind of negative feelings, we feel vulnerable and threatened, we could easily feel hurt, mistreated or betrayed and in this condition we could show the worst of us!
Therefore, you should take action being fully present, totally aware of your feelings, and these feelings should be of love, abundance, joy and service…
3. When you should take action
And finally, when should you take action?
There is only one moment for living; therefore, there is only one moment for taking action: Right now!
This present moment is everything we have!
It is up to us, how we use it
The past is gone forever.
The future is always away.
This present instant is all what we have.
If we don’t take action right now, this precious opportunity will be lost forever.
Concluding, you should take action because action is magical and powerful, you should take action with love, because it is the only way… And you should do it right now; there is not more time!
