A character is defined by its action, we’re sure many of you strictly believe in this quote. Many people never jump into the ocean of their dreams because they believe they must have all the answers before jumping. They ask, “What is the wind’s direction?”? When will the water come out? Before taking the plunge, how many breaths should I take? How should the entry angle be precisely defined? Are there any other jumpers out there? What is the number of jumpers? What is the number of strokes to shore? Those are reasonable questions, but some people won’t take the leap of faith no matter what the answer is.
In spite of overwhelming evidence that the leap is safe, regardless of how many swimmers have taken the exhilarating plunge, the timid will discover something wrong, a sure sign that the leap is doomed. No matter how many people around them have achieved their dreams, they can find a reason why they cannot.
This a pathetic belief as the majority of people never cross the line between gathering information and taking action. Neither total knowledge nor perfect conditions ever come to pass in their lives of endless contemplation. Therefore, they will always be observers instead of masters. Trial and strife are the keys to true knowledge, progress, high achievement, and legends. Without them, none of these exist.
A person who advances does so because he or she values the action itself. Taking action toward that end makes them feel proud and satisfied since they believe positive forward momentum reflects their character. Psychologically, much is at stake based on how proactive they are, how they grow, and how they advance in life.
They believe that they may not feel as happy, engaged, successful, or giving if they are not taking significant action to advance in life. Having a bias toward going and growing does not imply they are ruined by failure or slow moments of life. Intentions cannot be used as a measure of humankind, only actions can. In judging our character and determining our happiness, it matters little what we intend. Our true selves can only be revealed through action. The only way to mastery is through action.
Creating, growing, connecting, contributing, rising to our highest selves, and soaring into the stratosphere of greatness are all possible only through action. Besides intention and initiative, all else is simply thought. There is no place where that difference is more evident than in love. It is possible to intend to love others, but if we don’t take the initiative, if we don’t show our respect, care, and affection for them, our intentions remain void and soulless.
There is no love in thinking; there is only love in giving. Without examining our actions, we cannot determine who we are individually. Our values are more than thoughts – they are our ideals in motion, demonstrated through our interactions with others – and we cannot know what we truly value until we act upon them.
It is only through our actions that we can feel happiness, joy, satisfaction, peace, success, love, and all the other feelings we want in life. Being happy doesn’t happen by thinking about it, but by doing things that make us feel happy. If you imagine happiness, it is a feeling you only sense when you have done what makes you happy-even this is simply sitting quietly, closing your eyes, and practicing gratitude.
Gratitude generates happiness when contemplated. It is only when we are doing something we perceive to be joyful that we are joyful. When we have achieved what we are satisfied with, we are satisfied. In order for us to be successful, we must take the necessary steps. By how we treat ourselves and others, we can only love ourselves if we feel we deserve it. The act of doing things may become the sole measure of success for some people.
There is no doubt, however, that most people do nothing and this is why they are unhappy. Being is a simple action, but is being not itself an action? A relaxing action is one that you can take. As an action, meditation is a form of relaxation. It is an action to dream. We experience these emotions when we do these things.
We can also measure our true character by our actions. We can determine a person’s values, goals, and worthiness of trust and attention based on how consistently they act toward us and others. It is impossible to judge someone’s character based on anything other than their actions, and guessing leads only to assumptions and drama.
It is only through action that we learn what we need to know. It is impossible to trust a good-willed man who does not demonstrate goodwill toward others. We need not believe women who say, “I love you,” but then act cruelly and without love. Whenever a person does not act when action is required by the moment, we know that he is at best lazy, and at worst a coward. A cruel act is judged cruelly, a foolish act is judged foolishly. As a result, we globalize an individual’s personality based on their tendency toward advancement-those who do not progress in life are characterized as slow, stifled, lazy, losers.
In the end, we use advancement as a yardstick to measure others, whether we are right or wrong. Cultural progress depends on a willing and action-driven population. In addition to our freedoms, we owe them to previous generations who contributed beyond themselves. Today, societies and countries are measured by their level of advancement. A regime that is backward, archaic, irrelevant, and undeveloped in health, economy, technology, and freedom is viewed as a dying regime that drifts along until a strong wind of progress destroys it.
We must bring positive action back into our daily lives and goals if we are to measure our lives, others, and the world. In taking action, an invisible force gathers around us, bringing opportunities that align with our purpose and propelling us forward to freedom. In order to advance our lives and reach our full potential, we must take bold and significant actions in order to answer the question, “Am I taking enough bold and significant actions?”
To move forward in life, what would I do if I were unafraid and acting from my highest self? To begin dramatically advancing my health, career, family, and purpose, what steps must I take today and this week? ”
