A Fresh Start for Dads - Taking Action in 2013

By Adam Houghton

Did you know that people who live an action oriented life do things in a different manner? Unlike 'normal' people, they are truly passionate about what they are doing and they will do whatever it takes because they want it bad. They want it so bad that they can't sleep at night until they achieve it.

Imagine that you are a teenage boy. You have met your first love and you want her so bad. If your mom or dad told you that you cannot leave the house, what would you do if you really want to see her? Would you sneak out at night? Would you climb out the window and slip away? You would do whatever it takes, right?

That's exactly the way action driven people do things!

Whether you identify with this or not, it remains a known fact that if you want to accomplish your goals, you have to adopt the following characteristics:

You have to believe in what you are doing:

No one would believe in you if you do not believe in yourself! If you don't have a firm belief in your mission, then who the heck is going to carry it out for you? They don't even know what your mission is! Like a rebellious teenager, you can't change them unless they truly want to change themselves!

You also have to develop a compelling desire to get things done:

Like the example above, having a compelling desire is very important because if you don't have a compelling desire, most of the time, you will go halfway and later on, 'no way' because you will lose your drive.

You must have a plan:

If you do not have an effective plan, you will fail after a while. Even with a strong belief and a compelling desire, you will still fall flat on your face and you will be confused because you want it so bad yet you can't get the results. A man without a plan is simply in dreamland.

You must do whatever it takes all the way...

You must have an iron will that is even stronger than Ironman's armor! What will you do when you feel down? Are you going to live in defeat? Stop whining and bitching and JUST DO IT! Remember every bit of positive action you take brings you closer to success, in the same way that every piece of non-action keeps you further away from what you want.
