Winners take action; see 12 reasons why people don’t take action

The difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is action, action is what makes all the difference, action is what takes you from where you are to where you want to go, action is what helps you to make progress, action is what teaches you what not to do, as the more action you take the more you can learn by the results you get. Sometimes you will win, sometimes you will learn. Daily consistent action is the key, allocate time for your dreams daily, for the success. However, if you sit around being like everyone else then life will just deteriorate into making a living, but you are not like that, that is why you are here to step up your game to a new level.

Here are some reasons why people never take action on their dreams. Never let these get in the way of your success.

1. They Fall Victim to Others Opinions

You do not have to always listen to others opinions, no matter how much experience they may have. What worked for them may not work for you, and what they failed at may make them jealous of you.

2. They Only Listen to the Opportunities That Are Given to Them

Some people think that the opportunities that are given to them are the only ones that they will ever get. For them, there’s no such thing as creating your own opportunities in life. That seems impossible within the world they are living in. In our younger years, opportunities are given to us, mainly by our parents and our school teachers or friends. We have been given the opportunity to make something of ourselves. As you grow older, you realize that nobody just hands you opportunities, you have to go out in the world and create these opportunities, no matter how small they may be at first.

3. They Don’t Believe That They Are Smart Enough

When people meet others who have enormous masses of knowledge behind the words that come out of their mouth, they instantly think that this person must just naturally be smart. They are actually wrong because behind this person is most likely more struggles than you can ever imagine. They have been through a lot to possess the knowledge they do. Success is an emotional journey. Just because you do not possess a certain amount of knowledge to start with does not mean you can never obtain it.

4. They Can’t Be Bothered

The reason some people don’t take action is simply because they can’t be bothered to do so. It seems like so much effort and they would rather skate by through life without having to lift too many fingers, than actually go out, enjoy their life and make something of themselves.

5. Their Idea Seems Too Ambitious

Ideas are supposed to be ambitious. How else do you live your dream life and not just an average one? But, people come up with these amazing, yet incredibly ambitious ideas and somewhere along the line they tell themselves that it’s pretty much impossible, and there’s no point in taking the action needed to achieve these dreams and desires. There is no such thing as an idea that’s too ambitious. It’s just going to be more difficult to achieve.

6. They Think It’s Too Late

Maybe you have lived a significantly large portion of your life, and you think it is too late to start acting on your dreams. It’s never too late. It may seem like it now with the current situation you are in, but you still have a chance to take action! You may have to wait a little while before you can do so, or have to make some changes to your daily routine, but it’s never too late.

7. They Think Every Good Idea’s Already Been Done

Some people often say to others that every good idea’s already been done and therefore it’s impossible to take action on your life. The problem isn’t that everything has already been done. The problem lies within their creativity and being able to unlock the full power of their imagination. The people that struggle a little bit with creativity often think there’s not much more than can be done; until they see someone else introduce a new invention and kick themselves for not thinking of that idea. Then they repeat the same cycle of thinking.

8. They Failed Before

Another very common reason why people never take action on their ideas, their visions, is because they have failed once before at something very similar. They have now become determined not to make the same mistakes they did last time around, even if it means not trying in the first place. Failure is a part of life’s design, causing you to learn from your mistakes, to grow stronger from them in order to keep getting better every time you try again.

A wise man once said that he believes, not achieving our goal is part of life’s design, causing us to reach deep within and really produce the best that we can.

9. They Can’t Take Risks

Taking risks in life should not be optional. They are important. Anything and everything great that anybody’s ever tried to achieve, came through taking a risk. Maybe they risked their time for something, their money, their job, whatever it may be. People often never take action in life because they are scared of taking risks, in case something does not quite work out the way they planned it to.

10. They Lack Self-Confidence

Not having strong confidence in yourself is a recipe for disaster in life. It’s incredibly common for people to lack self-confidence, especially when you are growing up and there is a lot of pressure on you from your friends to do certain things, look and act a certain way to fit in. Self-confidence is the key to any success in life. It does not matter which part of your life you want to improve, this change in mindset guarantees you an improved life in every situation.

11. They Can’t See Past the Bad to Get the Good

A lot of people struggle to visualize the long term benefits of working hard at something. They don’t get started because the pain they would have to endure hardly seems worth it in order to achieve something. They are stuck on the thought of what they would have to do now in order to get what they want and they simply cannot move past that.

12. They Get Distracted

Distractions really do take away chunks of your time, probably far more than you really realize. Do your best to make sure distractions do not get the better of you. These little distractions are how others have struggled in the past to take action on their dreams.

13. They Follow the “Norm”

Another reason is simply because they follow the normal thing to do. Everything they do is considered as a normal thing to do, and therefore thy can never take action on their dreams, because dreams are not normal. Dreams should not be normal. They are our highest ambitions. You were born unique. There is no-one else out there exactly like you.
