Take Action Now and Appreciate Your Ability
It is magnificent to take action now with a good appreciation for your ability. Almost every person on earth has plans, dreams, and things they want to accomplish. However, something stops most people from doing what needs to be done. One of the reasons people do not take action now and do what they need to do is that they doubt their ability. Lack of confidence in one’s ability has caused more dreams to be deferred than almost anything else. The silver lining in all this is that if you fail to take action now because you doubt your ability you can turn things around and start to move forward and accomplish your goals. Jesse Jackson once said, “If your mind can conceive it and your heart can believe it, you can achieve it.” This statement is key to the idea that you should take action now and have a good appreciation for your abilities.
1. Create a list of the goals you want to accomplish
2. Write down all the ways you are qualified to accomplish your goals
3. Make a list of the things you need to do learn in order to accomplish your goals
4. Gather together the resources you need so you can learn what you need to learn
5. Get moving, take action now and accept no excuses
Create a list of the goals you want to accomplish. The idea that if you fail to plan you plan to fail is well established. One of the best ways to plan is to put it in writing. Get out a pen and paper or your favorite electronic device and write your plans down. There is something powerful about getting your plans out of your head and into a medium where you can see it, touch it and examine them on a regular basis. Actually go through the work of putting your hopes, dreams, and desires in writing. Once you have put everything in writing, spend time each day looking at the list, thinking about it and imagining what it will be like to accomplish everything on your list. Let your list be a living, breathing thing. Create a vision board to help you plan and see how you will accomplish your goals. By putting your goals in writing so you have accomplished step one, you conceived it.
Write down all the ways you are qualified to accomplish your goals. One of the biggest reasons people do not take action now and accomplish their goals is that they do not believe they have the necessary ability. In their hearts they do not believe they can accomplish what they desire. To combat that, write down all the abilities you have that you will help you accomplish your goals. Do not combine qualifications. Write down each thing that makes it possible for you to accomplish your goals. Write one qualification on each line. Having a list of your abilities in writing will help you believe you can accomplish your goals. When a person believes in herself and her abilities, there is nothing she cannot accomplish. By writing down a list of all the abilities you have that will help you achieve your goals you are showing yourself that you believe you can do what you conceived.
Make a list of the things you need to do learn in order to accomplish your goals. In order to accomplish your goals you must have a realistic view of your place in the universe. This means you must be honest with yourself about what abilities you lack that you need in order to accomplish your goals. Write down a list of all the things you need to learn in order to accomplish your goals. It is important to write these things down. Keep the list so that as you learn more and more of what you need to learn, you can cross the things you learn off your list. There is a nice feeling of satisfaction in crossing things off this list. Acknowledging what you need to learn helps you to believe you can accomplish what you desire.
Gather together the resources you need so you can learn what you need to learn. It is a good idea to make a list of what you need to learn in order to accomplish your goals. However, writing down that list is not the end of the road. Once you have a list of all the things you do not know and need to know to accomplish your goals you must start gathering together resources in order to learn what you need to know. You can get the information from books, magazines, other people or blog articles. In today’s world, information is plentiful and you van bring it to where you are, so go gather the information you need. The very act of gathering information will help you believe that you can do the things you have conceived.

Hello, I’ve been trying to teach my teen to set goals. She tends to get herself so uptight at the end result that that she does nothing. I want her to read this post – maybe reading it from you and not hearing it from her mother – will make her think.
I think your article mentioned a certain aspect of the problem. I think it has a lot more to study than that
Hey!
I am scared to write down all that I have to learn to accomplish my goals as I fear there are so many to keep up with…..

most lists I make are the “what needs to be done during the day” or “places we want to travel “to but we haven’t done really any goals.
Getting stronger in believing in my own abilities! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
Accept no excuses…I love that! Excuses just get in the way!
Thanks for these tips! I’m going to start my list tonight, it’s going to be a long one but I know I will be able to accomplish my goals!
I love your pinterest board! I’m definitely following now and I look forward to seeing more of what you share.
No excuses. Be responsible.
I so know the lack of confidence excuse I have used that one time to many. But I have tried to get out my comfort zone a lot more lately.
I tend to make excuses too but sometimes, you just have to battle your own to get things done.
Another great post. I need to start appreciating my ability.
Good info – each year on New Years I make a bucket list for the coming year. I am a planner.
This reminds me of something a friend said.. Whatever you are good at, be good at that. Everything else, outsource it!
Those are all really great tips. I tend to make up excuses for myself and I need to just stop.

I need to create a list that is realistic. sometimes I set the bar too high!
Sounds like really good advice.
I am good at setting goals, but I have to admit that sometimes I am also good at procrastination. I am a lot better at not procrastinating now than I used to be though. 🙂
Much as I create lists for different things, I have never thought of creating a list about my plans and goals for the future. Sounds like a good idea, though!

I create lists all the time. i always find it really inspiring to check things off.
Great advice, as usual. It’s so easy to make excuses.
I think I am more accountable when I write things down. I need to TAN to get some things done this week.

Great advice. i am one to always come up with an excuse and I need to pass them, appreciate all I do and move forward.
I’m making a list of my goals for 2015. I’m so excited to get started on that list!
I’m focused on my goals – personal and professional – for 2015, and your post is a good reminder that we can do whatever we set our mind to. Thanks for sharing!
you always have a point in your article, very well said.
I sometimes focus on the small stuff instead of the bigger picture. This is a good reminder.
I think I need to dig a little deeper!
most lists I make are the “what needs to be done during the day” or “places we want to travel “to but we haven’t done really any goals.
I’ve been better over this last week about ignoring my own excuses and just pushing through. Things are getting done!
I try not to accept excuses, but the fact of the matter is, that sometimes they’re legit.
