20 Quotes To Motivate Us To Take Action

Wishing, praying, hoping, yearning, and dreaming; five things we can never be accused of not doing enough, as humans. In fact, when it comes to achieving our goals and the future we long for, we've got these five things down pat. Although most people lack real structure, clarity, and solidity in their goals, it's fair to say that people at least have a fairly clear picture of how they envision their life would be if they were completely happy, satisfied, and successful. It's sad that most people place money as the centre of their goals, but it's an unfortunate fact that we do live in a world dominated by greed and selfishness. What's also sad and unfortunate is that the majority of people also invest their time into wishing, praying, hoping, yearning, and dreaming, but yet they invest no time into turning these thoughts of what they desire, into reality. It's the good old saying "all talk, no action". You will always hear people constantly go on about how they wish for this, and how they dream of having that, and how they hope they can achieve such and such one day, and how they pray to become a millionaire. Not only do these type of people invest so much time into wishing, praying, hoping, yearning, and dreaming, but they also invest so much time into complaining, whinging, ranting, and playing the victim in life also. They do so because all their wishes, dreams, and the like, never seem to come to fruition, and naturally, it agitates, annoys, and frustrates them. Therefore, the way they vent is to whinge and complain to other people, they play the victim of their circumstances, placing blame on everyone and everything else but themselves, and they even take their anger and frustration out on others. The truth is, we are solely responsible for achieving our own goals, and the decisions we have made in the past, and continue to make today, have led us to where we are currently.

You will see in many of the quotes I have listed today, there is a general theme, and that is that in order to create success and achieve your goals in life, then you need to take action. Wishing, praying, hoping, yearning, and dreaming, all amount to nothing unless we take action in working towards what we desire. We can't just sit idly by and expect our desires to magically come true. Success, happiness, and goals accomplishment are only achieved by taking action, and by action I am talking hard work, accompanied by the behaviors of commitment, perseverance, dedication, determination, resilience, and even patience. There are only three factors behind why so many of us refrain from taking action, them being fear, doubt, and laziness. There are the fears of failure, fear of losing financially, fear of being judged by others for our decisions and actions, fear of change, and fear of stepping out of our comfort zone. There are the doubts we have about not being knowledgeable enough, not being talented enough, not being capable of succeeding, and not even believing that such success is even possible. Finally, there is laziness, where we simply lack the willpower, motivation, and drive, to get off our butt and take action in the first place, because we are easily enticed by activities that require zero effort and energy. Each of these factors are otherwise known as excuses. We seek out a variety of reasons to try and justify why we cannot progress towards our goals, and why we cannot accept the various opportunities that are in front of us, when the truth is, the real reason is we are either fearful, doubtful, or lazy, to do so. If we wish, pray, hope, yearn, and dream for success, happiness, and satisfaction in life, why shouldn't we make it reality? Stop being held back by your fears, doubts, and laziness, and instead, push through those mental barriers by taking action, starting today! Believe in yourself, take action, and go for your goals!
