Actions Or Results?

Actions Or Results

Have you ever had the experience that you know what to do but for whatever reason you still didn’t do it?

Have you ever started projects, even gotten them to 80% complete and then got distracted and not finished them?

I know I have, recently I have found myself staring at the computer screen doing everything I can from doing actual productive work.

Have you ever felt like this before? I know this is not the first time for me and probably won’t be the last, however at least I now I have (and so do you) a solution or a different strategy to help get back on track to the fulfilment of your desires.

After thinking about this for a while, (yes more procrastination) I realized it is really a focus issue, I was more focused on the actions I needed to take rather than the results I am looking to achieve from taking the action.

I was too focused on the task at hand which as enjoyable as it may be, the action is never as exciting as the end result. After all you don’t really want to rank videos in the search engines; you want the affiliate sales that will come from getting your video ranked in the search engines. (For example)

So my question to you is what are you focused on? The action you need to take or the results you desire?

This is just a small shift however a very powerful one.

What I also like about this distinction is that is in alignment with the teachings of law of attraction. By focusing on the end result and not so much the action you are taking you are in a mind state of positively expectation and not hung up or emotional attached to a specific action which may or may not bring you the goals you desire.

I don’t want to get all spiritual and quantum mechanics on you, and there are many ways to address this issue I described at the start of this post however to just keep it simple and break it down to what it really is, which is – what are you focused? Your actions or results?

The results you get are based on what you focus on and the meaning you attach to it in any given moment

If you are focused on actions the meaning you will associate is different and not as empowering I would imagine as if you focus on the end results you desire and the reason why you are taking that action in the first place.

To help me, I have this saying stuck on my mirror.

By being focused on why you are doing a certain action – the result you are looking to achieve you will be more motivated and driven to follow through with that action and live experience the results you dream of.
