Becoming more resourceful (part 1 of 6)
I have put together a message called: 6 foundational keys to becoming more productive, resourceful and successful. I want to share these 6 foundational key over the next 6 days. I hope you enjoy them.
Here is the first.
Key #1: Cultivate a bias for action
Successful people are action oriented. They of course study and contemplate, but never in place of taking action. There is ample research that shows that people with more of an orientation toward action have a greater level of emotional well-being. One recent study of first year medical students found that those who enjoyed the most success had a bias for action and a bias for solving problems. The less successful students were more passive, avoided problems and had higher levels of depression, substance abuse and other unhealthy escape behaviors.
It may seem like people are either action oriented or they are not. As if it is some genetic or unchangeable trait. This is definitely NOT the case. We can learn to be more action oriented. We can increase our tolerance for risk. We can enhance or ability to take on and master difficult takes. It is a little like an exercise program. You take action first, and the motivation and momentum come second. Unfortunately more passive individuals want to eat the fruit before they plant the seeds. They want instant results. They want guarantees. It just does not work that way. Cultivating a bias for action does not mean that every action will always get you desirable results. It simply means you get more opportunities to get desirable results. More learning experiences. More opportunities to see what works and what does not work.
Keep these simple formulas in mind. More actions equals more results. More action equals more leaning. More action helps you more rapidly overcome challenges. Overcoming more challenges helps you boost your self confidence. More self confidence helps you take more risks, be more productive, more resourceful and more successful.
Here is to you becoming more action oriented!
To Your Greatness!
