Going beyond ‘wanting’ to reach ‘having’

It’s all very well, as they say, to know what is driving us forward. But going beyond ‘wanting’ to reach ‘having’ requires action in addition to knowledge.

Putting energy, movement, passion even, into endeavours is more likely to get us our desired outcomes quicker than merely hoping. Going beyond ‘wanting’ to reach ‘having’ in such instances propels us towards success.

Possibly the line between ‘wanting’ and ‘having’ is wafer-thin. In any case, it needs to be crossed if we are to gain the prizes.

So, thinking about where you are right now, what do you need to implement, change, or put into being to ensure you are going beyond ‘wanting’ to reach ‘having’? Will you do what is necessary? By when? And if not, what do you learn from that?

Thanks for reading this ‘Going beyond ‘wanting’ to reach ‘having’’ post, and please like and share it.

Not everything needs doing but something does

In a world in which we have almost unlimited opportunities, it is easy to believe we can do whatever we like. As much as this might be the case, let’s remember not everything needs doing but something does.

Clarifying ‘everything’ and ‘something’ produces valuable input to guide us in moving forward effectively. Appreciating ‘not everything needs doing but something does’ helps us focus energy on strategic measures designed to maximize our efforts.

Let’s not forget to follow up hoping with action

On the face of it, the advice ‘let’s not forget to follow up hoping with action’ is probably unnecessary. If we are hoping for something, it seems natural to undertaken whatever we can to bring into being.

That said, how many times have we identified a desired outcome or solution but then failed to do anything to take ourselves to it.

So, yes, let’s not forget to follow up hoping with action. Although there are few guarantees concerning our efforts leading us to where we want to go, doing nothing rarely takes us forward.

Or not. To share your input on ideas set out today, leave a comment below.

Three ways action brings dreams to life

Following the post ‘Where are your dreams leading you?’, now might be a good time to ponder three ways action brings dreams to life.

The first of the three ways action brings dreams to life is related to the question of momentum. By taking action we set in motion energy that will move us forward. Thinking and planning without action do not provide the same impact.

The second of the three ways action brings dreams to life is associated with self-belief. By taking an action step we provide ourselves with the evidence we have the ability to make progress. And this is a key factor in obtaining our dreams.

The third of the three ways action brings dreams to life involves the priority we give our dreams through our actions. There is a big difference between taking action and merely talking about wanting to achieve something. Choices are reflected in priorities and made visible by action.

Quoting a tweet from a few years ago: “A dream not followed by action can quickly become a nightmare”.

To explore the issue of bringing dreams to life as part of a coaching conversation, please get in contact.

Right now, thanks for reading this ‘Three ways action brings dreams to life’ post.
