Despite being straight to the point, some people can't follow this simple advise:
"Stop wishing, start doing"
So often heard in the motivational quote world, we feel we need to address it in a different way for people to be motivated by it.
Our mind works in ways that sometimes we don't control, and it's easy to get in the dream bubble, and just dreaming non stop without actually making things happen.
The great thing about this quote is that it urges people into taking action towards their goals instead of just hoping for things to happen.
For a deeper meaning and understanding of this famous inspirational saying, here are eight valid points to explain the meaning behind it:
Stop Wishing Start Doing: Ignite the Power of Taking Action!
1. Wishing Alone Won't Make Things Happen
Wishing for something to happen is not enough to achieve our goals.
It's important to take action and make things happen.
While you're wishing you're not putting things in motion in the real world, only in your brain.
To have strong desires is a good thing that can lead you to action, but if you just wish for the sake of wishing, you just get a good feeling, nothing else.
It's just thoughts and ideas, that without real application won't mean a thing.
2. Action Leads To Progress
Taking action towards our goals leads to progress, even if it's small steps at a time.
It's all about interacting with reality and start to put things into motion.
By doing you get out of the just wishing bubble (as if you were a spoiled brat), and you're actually turning it into a reality and making progress, in the road to reach your goals.
Also, this progress can help us stay motivated and keep moving forward.
3. Overcoming Fear and Doubts
Sometimes, we may hesitate to take action because of fear and doubts.
Just wishing, keep us in the comfort zone, with good feelings only, nothing to fear or doubt about.
However, starting to doing things can help us overcome these fears and doubts and move forward towards our goals.
So in essence, by start doing you can eliminate things that scare you, because you start to actually see things as they are, in reality. Not like you thought they were, in our mind.
Some things might even be easier to do than what you've expected them to be. Take the chance, take the risk!
4. Taking Responsibility
When we take action towards our goals, we take responsibility for our own success.
We become accountable for our own actions and the outcome of our efforts.
This is so important in today's world, realize that nothing will be handed to you, you have to work for it!
Gain control of your life with the power of taking responsibility, nobody else is in charge, you determine your actions and make things happen.
5. Creating a Sense of Achievement
Taking action and working towards our goals can create a sense of achievement and satisfaction.
It's a way to prove to ourselves that we are capable of achieving our dreams.
This is one of the best feelings in the world: planning, setting goals, reach them and enjoying the rewards you get from it!
To feel you have achieved something meaningful with your own thoughts and actions!
One of those rewards it's exactly this feeling! Suddenly life gets a whole new meaning and fulfillment starts to become one of your personality traits!
6. Turning Ideas into Reality
Taking action can help turn our ideas into reality.
It's a way to transform our dreams and goals into tangible results for the real world to witness.
Just imagine, you have this great idea that you came up with while you were in your small basement downstairs... Put in the work, now you have a huge enterprise that started in a basement...
What a wonderful world, we may add, your ideas can become something fantastic!
Start doing! Start to put those ideas into reality.
7. Avoiding Regret
When we don't take action towards our goals, we may end up regretting not doing so in the future.
Taking action can help us avoid regret and create a sense of fulfillment in our lives.
"The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled." - Les Brown
Make sure this doesn't happen to you, avoid being regretful all your life, put those ideas you have to test.
The worst it can happen, is the idea to flop, but hey... now you know it didn't worked and you won't dwell on it forever, you can move on to the next idea! Nice going Einstein!
8. Inspiring Others:
By taking action and achieving our goals, we can inspire others to do the same.
Our actions can motivate and encourage those around us to pursue their own dreams.
Whether you want it or not, your actions are always influencing others, either in a good way or bad way. It all depends on what you do!
Make a conscious choice of impacting others positively with your actions!
This can even be a source of motivation for you to take action, your purpose goes beyond yourself, you have people you must inspire and motivate, keep doing!
9. In Conclusion
The quote "Stop wishing, start doing" emphasizes the importance of taking action towards our goals.
By taking action, we can make progress, overcome our fears and doubts, and create a sense of fulfillment in our lives.
Furthermore, our actions can inspire others to pursue their own dreams and goals.
