Self-awareness and taking action go hand in hand because, when you understand your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, you are in a great position to do things to move your life forward consciously and positively.
The only difference between those who succeed and those who stay stuck is taking action. I’m always amazed at the incredible things people can do when they decide to act to make their dreams a reality. Here’s what some smart people say about the subject:
Annie Dillard:
How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.
Aristotle:
Moral excellence comes about as a result of habit. We become just by doing just acts, temperate by doing temperate acts, brave by doing brave acts.
Alfred Adler:
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.
Anatole France:
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
Ann Radcliffe:
One act of beneficence, one act of real usefulness, is worth all the abstract sentiment in the world.
Go out today and take action to make your dreams a reality, you’ll be glad you did. Remember that you don’t have to do everything at once, just do one small thing each day and, over time, you’ll see the results in your life. What will you do to develop self-awareness and take action?
