3 Effective Principles to Help You Stop Procrastinating and Start Taking Action

When it comes to achieving your goals and living your dreams, most people have a hard time because they procrastinate and are not taking any action to achieve what they want in life. They tell you that they want to be successful, but they are not doing anything about it. Does this sound familiar to you?
You are what you do, not what you say you will do. Don’t just say that you want to build an online business with your free time, and when you get back home from work, all you do is watch TV. You have to stop procrastinating on your goals and start taking action instead. Taking action is the only key to getting the results you desire.
Here are three powerful methods that can help you in this:
1. Apply the Goldilocks Strategy
Imagine you are a regular tennis player. And if you have to play a match against a complete rookie, how will you feel? Well, most people will say that it will be boring because the opponent is too easy. And this is true. Now, how about if your opponent is Roger Federer? Do you think the match is going to be exciting and fun?
Not likely, because the opponent is too strong and you can’t even return the ball. If the match is too easy, you will feel bored. On the other hand, if the match is too difficult, you will feel overwhelmed. Hence, you have to find the sweet spot between the two. You have to find an opponent that has almost the same skill level as you.
“In order to carry a positive action we must develop here a positive vision.” – Dalai Lama
It is the same when it comes to working on your goals and doing your tasks. When the task is too difficult, you feel overwhelmed, and you do not want to do it. Conversely, when the task is too easy, you don’t feel motivated to do it. And this is where the Goldilocks strategy comes in. Make the task or the work just right for you. Not too difficult and not too easy, just right.
2. Revisit Your Purpose
Why are some people able to work harder and stay later while some don’t have the motivation to work at all? It all comes down to their purpose. A heavy smoker finds it hard to get rid of his bad smoking habit. He tries many times, but he fails. So he continues to smoke, and his health deteriorates.
One day, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. The doctor tells him that if he did not stop smoking, he would never live past three months. Suddenly, he had all the reasons to stop smoking, and it becomes a must.
When you have a strong and emotional reason to do something, you will do it. When you don’t have a reason, you don’t even care about it. Why do you wake up in the morning? If you have nothing to do and have no plan for the weekend, you will choose to sleep more. However, when you have a reason to wake up, you will get up.
Can you see how your reasons can drive you? Thus, revisit your purpose. Why do you want to achieve your goals? Why do you want to live your dreams? Why do you want to work more and take action? Why can’t you rest and procrastinate?
Your reasons will become the fuel that motivates you to move forward and to take action. The stronger and more emotional your reasons, the more desperate you will be. When you have a strong purpose and are committed, you will do whatever it takes. When you are just interested and have no clear reasons, you will do what is convenient.
“Efforts and courage are not enough without purpose and direction.” – John F. Kennedy
3. Build A Ritual
Extraordinary people are able to take action and work on their dreams regardless of their feelings because they have built a ritual. In other words, they have made it into a habit. The process has become the ritual, and they will work on it whether they feel like it or not. This is what you need to do too.
Create a ritual that you will follow through to take action each day. For example, you can make your morning ritual as follows:
- After washing up, go to the kitchen and drink a cup full of water.
- After that, do some stretching and exercises.
- And then practice daily goal setting.
- After that, work on your most important task.
It is a chain reaction that one follows another. After you wash up, you drink the water. After drinking, you do some exercise. There is a cue for every action. The cue to start working on your most important task is after you write down your goals. The cue to exercise is after you drink the water.
When everything is in position, you will make it into a ritual and eventually, it will become a habit that will keep you moving whether you like it or not. What you can do right now is to write down your ritual. How do you want your morning to be? What about the afternoon and evening? Create your ritual right now and follow through.
Remember, what you do once in awhile is not as important as what you do every day. It is your habit that will shape your life and your destiny.

How to Break the Cycles of Mediocrity and Manifest Your Greatness
There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity

In just a few weeks, we will be wrapping up 2023. Can you believe it? This year has been absolutely incredible for me.
I have seen amazing doors opened, new relationships formed and I am seeing dreams realized in my life. While this seems like the hallmarks of a great year, this has also been the most challenging year of my life. With all of the change happening in my life, I have been forced out of my comfort zone and challenged to grow in every area of my life.
I can truly say that I have made the most of my moments this year and I have used everything as a catalyst for maximizing my greatest potential.
As a revolutionary leader, I have the pleasure of consulting and advising leaders around the world to fulfill purpose, realize their greatest potential and make an impact.
I want to share some insights with you that will help you to break cycles of mediocrity and manifest your greatness.
Everything legal must come through the matrix
I am sure that some of you are wondering why I am using the term matrix. However, what you have to understand is that I am trying to make a highly complex spiritual principle practical to understand.
Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, every life has an origin and I believe that origin is divine and begins with eternity. You are birthed from eternity and into time to fulfill a unique purpose and assignment in your lifetime and generation.
The matrix is simply the portal or vehicle that brings something out of the invisible realm and into tangible form. The problem with much of the teaching today is that it excludes the matrix. We are told to believe that success is instantaneous and overnight.
Nobody talks about how a dream progresses through stages beginning with visualization and ultimately culminating in manifestation. Without a matrix or portal then everything that you attempt to birth and build will be illegal.
The matrix not only makes you legal but it gives you the authority and power to function as the greatest expression of who you were created to be.
Every matrix has an incubation process
While many people admire and respect me today, I remember a time when nobody knew who I was or the significance of my message. How did I get to where I am today? I got here through an incubation process.
In other words, everything that has been destined for your life is incubating and awaiting a set time of manifestation. The problem is that most people live their entire lives idle and never initiate the incubation process.
What do I meany by that? Most people are living reckless and very few people are living intentionally. I am amazed at the number of people I have conversations with that have no vision, goals or strategies for their lives. They show great promise and they have undeniable potential.
However, without development they will die with their dreams still in them.
Everything that has been destined for your life must be incubated and converted to become realities born to time.
“Visualize this thing that you want, see it, feel it, believe in it. Make your mental blueprint and begin to build.” – Robert Collier
You must give expression to that which is not yet born to time
When you think about a matrix or a prophetic incubation process, you have to understand that potential is often unrealized and untapped. In other words, your potential is in raw form and your potential cannot serve you as long as it is untapped.
The thing that makes me valuable is that I have the ability to convert potential into power. I have done it in my own life and I have empowered leaders around the world to do the same. How do you convert potential into power?
First, it is important to note that you have to perceive potential. If you cannot perceive your potential then you can never cultivate your potential. In addition, you must take the time to cultivate your potential. We often get excited about our capabilities; however, we never expand our capacity in order to realize our greatest potential.
In other words, the strength of your potential is only discovered through your willingness to stretch. The more we are challenged the more we are empowered to expand our capacity for greatness. Most of all, you must begin to express your potential. The expression of potential is different for every person.
For example, the expression of my potential is best demonstrated through the thoughts, ideas, products, services, books, etc.
For another person the expression of potential may look like a screenplay, artwork, sports, scientific discoveries, medical breakthroughs, etc.
Regardless of the form of expression, I know that you will live empty and unfulfilled until you make the decision to express your potential. The expression of your potential gives voice to your dreams, life to your vision, significance to your moments and activates your true power.
You must manifest your greatness
As a revolutionary thinker and leader, my work has impacted people around the world. I am grateful that my life is a source of empowerment to so many people. However, before anyone could ever benefit from my life, I had to make a non-negotiable decision to become who I was born to be.
I wish I could tell you that this journey is easy and that you will get there overnight. However, in a world that celebrates us for doing we are often criticized for being. As a result, I wasted a lot of time trying to be who other people wanted me to be instead of being who I was born to be.
There is no greatness without becoming and there is no becoming with authenticity. It is through our bravery to be vulnerable that we ultimately manifest our greatness. We do not bless the world by being a duplicate. We bless the world when we honor our difference. When you honor your difference you honor your potential.
Ultimately, your difference is how you manifest your greatness.
When you present anything but your authentic self to the world, you are playing small and you are robbing the world of your significance. Manifesting your greatness requires you to master your gifts.
