How to create the results you want in any area of your life.
Take ACTION! Nothing happens without action. Taking action, however, is not enough. You have to take MASSIVE ACTION.
This may seem over simplified, but just think about anything you have achieved in your life so far. You took action and if you achieved great results you definitely took MASSIVE ACTION! Nothing happens without ACTION!
I have been blessed in my life over and over again with great results and accomplishments and for this I am truly great full. As I look back and see what I have achieved I often stand in amazement and am astonished at the results I have been able to create.
One result which stands out was when I woke up one morning, hungover, down and out. I felt useless, worthless and ashamed of what I had become. I just married my wife, came back from honeymoon and had all these great preconceptions of married life and my “HERO” role I would play in our marriage, but despite all of this I had failed myself. It was supposed to be the greatest time of my life, but I was nowhere.
I knew something had to change and it had to happen fast! So, I took action, but not just any action, MASSIVE ACTION! I entered Iron Man South Africa. It was the 31st of January 2009 and this decision was a game changer. By the way, the date for this Iron Man was 8 April 2009! And by the way, I’ve never done any triathlon, I’ve never swum 3.8km, I’ve never cycled 180km and I’ve never run a marathon. I was totally nuts! I had 10 weeks to prepare, which if you ask any “experienced” triathlete is not near enough for an Iron Man, especially if you have not even done 1 of the three disciplines ever, individually and also never a triathlon!
I get very excited when I think back. I TOOK MASSIVE ACTION.
I paid the R5000 entry fee, which then was half of my monthly salary. I “pimped” my very modest bicycle with tribars. I bought a wetsuit for the swim. I was all in! There was no turning back. I had spent all my (or should I rather say our) money and turning back was not an option. MASSIVE ACTION!
Nothing about this made any sense, it was ludicrous to even think that this was possible, but on 8 April 2009 I finished my first Iron Man! Yes, FINISHED! I am so proud of this accomplishment, as I am writing it brings tears to my eyes.
Creating the change you want to realize in your life is definitely possible and if you understand the mechanics of change and apply these mechanics consiously, you can and will be unstoppable!
So how does taking MASSIVE ACTION lead to you being unstoppable? What are the forces at work?
This is the process, potential has no power unless it is put into use by action and of course MASSIVE ACTION is what really lets it loose. The action you take then leads to results, which in turn gives you believe and certainty that you can achieve change you are after and that then leads to more potential, which leads to even greater action, which leads to even better results and even more belief and certainty and this process repeats itself over and over until one day you become an overnight success…
