With topics in personal development ranging from goal setting to neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and many things in between it's no wonder at times we are left feeling as though all this learned knowledge is not being made the best use of. We wonder why it's not working for us.

Please don't get me wrong; I'm not getting down on any of the various areas of self-improvement. What I am saying is that I think there's a very basic component that needs to be addressed if you and I want to see real lasting results in whatever area we commit ourselves to achieving in...

That being action... yep, that's right A-C-T-I-O-N! - plain and simple. All else fails without our honest commitment to that six-letter word.

I can assure you that you can have the best plan in place, you can have mastered numerous techniques, but until you understand just how important willingness to take that first leap of faith towards what you desire is you're not going to be any different then the countless others that get stuck in that loop between seeing results and simply dreaming of them.

If I could offer one closing thought it would be this. Do not wait to start on your success journey until everything feels right, or that everything is suddenly perfect. Change is inevitable and you're going to find out sooner or later that had you just moved forward in spite of your initial reluctance you would now be far ahead of the game.

If there are lessons to be learned, you will certainly learn them as you go. Have the courage to take action now and don't be afraid to let life teach you lessons.
