A friend has been inspiring me lately. You can read her blog, See Betty Run, and see why. She is making a difference in her life, taking action and I love what she is up to accomplishing.
I love inspirational stories of people that have endured personal challenges and continued on to achieve their versions of success. I always have.
Some of my famous favorites are Terry Fox, Rick Hansen, The Hoyts, Michael J. Fox and Bill Porter. I can’t but get a tear in my eyes when I listen to their stories.
When I get stuck, tired, dejected I think about these people and I am reminded that I have every resource to attempt any goal. The outcome is ultimately up to me and regardless of what the outcome is, I know I will be better for it. So why do we sometimes procrastinate on our dreams. One key element is the meaning we give the things we are up to in life. Increased Meaning = Increased Action = Increased Results. How do you get more meaning? Simple...ask yourself why it is important to you, your friends, family or the world? That is where you will find the meaning. All of these famous inspirational stories started with intense meaning. Get the meaning clear and keep it top of mind, especially when you are confronted by an obstacle.
What have you been dreaming about but taking no action? I know you have every resource to attempt it? What is it about that dream that is important to you? What does it mean to you?
What have you been dreaming about and taking action? Share it and I will share it with my readers. It could be your blog, your website, your story, anything. We want to hear about it.
Go for it and See Betty Run!
