Many people want to improve their lives but simply don’t know how. They want to make more money but come up short when starting that new business or interviewing for a new job. They want to lose weight but fail to maintain that diet and exercise program. They want to improve their relationships but quickly fall back into their old habits. Many of the programs for improving your life are just too complicated to maintain.
There is however a way to make the changes you must to help improve your life. It’s a six step plan which can be summarized by the word ACTION.
Accept the fact that you can change your life.
You must believe, truly believe, that you can change your life for the better. If you have faith in yourself and in what you’re trying to achieve, amazing things can, and will, happen.
Cultivate a hunger for success.
When you cultivate a hunger for success, you’re less likely to be discouraged by the inevitable setbacks you’ll face. You’re more likely to put in the time and effort required to meet your goals when you absolutely know that you’ll succeed.
Take the first step.
It sounds simple but is often the most difficult thing for people to do. You need to start moving toward your goal. If your goal is weight loss, you’ve got to take the first step on your daily walk around the block. If you’re starting a business, you’ve got to register your business name or start building that web site. Most people want to change but never get started. Don’t be like those people; take the first step.
Inactivity is not acceptable.
It’s really easy to take a night off from exercise to watch television rather than exercise. It’s simple to push back from the computer rather than write that business plan. Your son will still want to play catch with you “tomorrow” night. Don’t do it. Be active, be involved, and participate. It’s your life and inactivity is not acceptable.
Open your eyes to the opportunities all around you.
One of the wonderful things about living in the time we do is that opportunity exists all around us. The Internet has made it easier than ever to start a new small business. If that’s your goal, go for it. If losing weight is your goal, there’s never been a time when so much good, healthy food is available year-round. You don’t have to eat those fries. Grab an apple, grapes or a banana. Good options abound.
Never give up.
The vast majority of people give up in pursuit of their goals. Don’t give up. Ever! Sure, you may have setbacks from time to time. Things will not always go as smoothly as you might like but don’t lose heart. By sticking with your goal, you’ll be ahead of 99.9% of the people.
Start today, right now, to change your life. By following the six ACTION steps, you have a blueprint for making substantive, positive changes in your life, whatever those changes might be. If you follow through and don’t give up, success is guaranteed.
