The Power That Is Resident In Your Action To Actualize Your Dream

While growing up, one of my mentors said something which I still Remember till now. He said that "it is only a dynamic action that will make your static dream to gain motion." The words made me to understand a few things. Firstly, dreams on their own do not possess the ability to fulfil themselves but they will need a force to back them up and convert them to reality - this is what action does. A lot of people dream and aspire on a daily basis. In fact, many dreamers have come and gone, but not all of them saw their dreams being fulfilled because they did not back it up with action. Trust me, the little action you put into your wishes will cause a great change than just remaining docile and wishing in futility.

There is almost no way to turn your dreams into reality without putting the required action. Take for instance; you may be dreaming of having a bountiful harvest as a farmer, but there is the first requirement you need to fulfil - you have to plant first. It is on the premise of planting that harvest will come. So the planting here is the action that should complement your dreams. If you wish and dream without taking the responsibility to work it out, it will not profit you anything. As a matter of fact, it is what you do with what you believe that will bring the desired gain. If you believe that good things will happen to you, then you must show it by working.

One of the things that you should understand is that the prize only comes when you have fulfilled the required price. This is why salary is being paid at the end of certain work period, not at the beginning. If you want to achieve something, you should first ask yourself what you will do for it to be actualized. No matter what you think, nothing of value will be dropped on your laps for doing nothing - there is always something to do. The first step towards achieving success is to know the right action to take and then going a step further to undertaking it at the right time.

It does not only stop at taking actions, but the action has to be done rightly and properly. Imagine someone that wants to cut a tree and instead of using a saw, he is using a kitchen knife. It is obvious that he is undertaking actions, but the truth is that he is not putting in the right actions. In fact, he will expend energy, sweat, and exercise in sheer futility until he switches over to the right action. But with the right action, a little effort that he will put will be amplified. One of the reasons why people's actions do not deliver maximally even though they are putting in action is because they are doing it wrongly. Doing something wrongly will not give you the right result. So to get the right result, the preceding action must be right.

In addition to putting right actions towards your dreams, it has to be done at the right time. Anything not done in its right time has defeated the aim of doing it in the first place. If you delay what you should have done today until tomorrow, you would have succeeded in rendering the potential result of the action almost futile. Procrastination comes with many negative effects that it should be avoided. When we finished from secondary school many years ago, one of my friends wanted to join the defence academy in order to become a commissioned military officer. He went to collect the requirements for the entrance examination and it was what he qualified for.

So what was left was for him to fill in the form into the site and apply online. The registration process was to end on the Monday preceding the Friday he made the enquiries. Instead of him to get to work immediately on the application process, he deferred it to the same Monday that it was ending. By the Monday, the site became so slow because of the amount of people trying to access the site. This made it impossible for him to fill the application on Monday, with the hopes that they will give grace till maybe Tuesday. Sadly, they did not extend it and that was how he lost the entrance exam for that year.

When you have created an idea, the best time to take actions, which will also bring better result, is immediately you created the idea. You have to understand that delay does not only affect performance negatively, it also defeats equity. You may not have the entire resources or supports needed to take your desired action, but it should not stop you from taking steps from where you are. Take the step today and you will be surprised of the outcome.
