The Secret to Accomplishment

Rsz Take Action

It doesn’t matter what you say, what you post on Instagram or how many motivation memes you share. No amount of motivation, inspiration or positive thinking can replace action.



Taking action is the one thing that separates winners from losers. The haves from the have-nots. Highly successful people from everyday people.

“Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.” — Thomas Jefferson

Although many of us have big goals, dreams and ambitions, we somehow fail to achieve them. We come up with all sorts of excuses, but the bottom line is we fail to take the necessary action to achieve them.


Action is the shortest path between where you are now and where you are going. Your first action will reveal the second one, your second action reveals the third one, and so on and so forth. Simply put one foot in front of the other and keep moving.



No amount of inspiration, motivation or positive thinking can replace action. Your actions are the only thing that matters.
