1 action step is worth more than 100 years of thinking

So I have been using that sentence for quite a while.  I have said it to clients, students and gymnasts on a regular basis. I even had it print on the back of my business card to reinforce the importance of it.  It is a philosophy that I am working on every day.

During my reflection time for 2012, I’ve come to realize that there are certain things that I did not take actions step for. ¬†One of those items is to consistently writing this blog. ¬†My excuses were that: English is my second language, my writing is not PERFECT, people will judge me for my writing, ¬†i rather be at the beach surfing than writing….and the list went on and on. ¬†I also realized that even though writing is not my favorite hobby, however I love to communicate and share with people my learning journey. I enjoy impacting someones life directly and indirectly. ¬†I told myself that I had two choices: 1) is to let all my excuses get to me and not do anything and give up the gratification of sharing my learning to people or 2) is to not let perfect be the enemy of good and to take the little action step and make something happen.

I may not have the perfect writing, perhaps spelling sometimes (especially if the computer misses it :-) ). ¬†However, I believe i have the right intention and purpose. ¬†I could have waited until my writing to be perfect to start however I made a choice to be who I am and to be consistent with my purpose. ¬†I am teaching and learning a life without judgement, guilt and¬†embarrassment. ¬†This is one of my ways to implement my teaching/learning. ¬†So here is one blog that I didn’t spend a¬†ridiculous amount of time to have someone edit or to to sugar coat to make it LOOKS really good. ¬†It is not the purpose of it. ¬†I am here sharing with you that what I did was taking a step to do it. ¬†I learned that don’t wait for it to be perfect to do it. ¬†At least now I am writing the very first blog of 2012.

So for you, what is the action step you can take for some project that you have been putting off? Whether to loose weight, to learn a new hobby, to start a new relationship, etc. ¬†Don’t let the fear, judgement, guilt and embarrassment stop you. ¬†Starting something will create a momentum. I encourage you to start; don’t be intimidate by the end result. Be inspired by it! trust and enjoy the process.

That is all for now. Thank you for reading my blog.  I would love to hear your story of how you take the action steps.  No worry about the grama or spelling; the main point is more important to me. If it is to you, I honor that.

I wish you the very best of 2012.  May you take a lot of ACTIONS in 2012.  STRETCH YOUR POTENTIAL to the fullest in 2012!!!!
