Where There's Action...There's Manifestation


The opposite of victim is action.
The opposite of stagnation is action.
The opposite of boredom is action.
The opposite of complaining is action.
None of these feelings/behaviors are wrong...they are getting our attention, so we move to action.
Action is a powerful 6-letter word.
I once heard a coaching instructor tell us, "Dreams without action are just dreams."
Action is the behavior that moves us forward.
Now that Tax Day is over...we can get back into action.
How many of you can admit you remember the TV show, "Where the Action Is?"
Explore action this month.
Tell me what happens.

Running on Life's Treadmill

I remember hearing a fellow coaching student on a telecall mentioning she felt like a head with her chicken chopped off! I truly believe she intended to mix up the usual cliche phrase to give it a fresher perspective of chaos. It was my intention to capture that head with our chicken chopped off feeling in this collage. Do you know this feeling? You may well know it if your day is loaded with endless errands and chores and to dos. It's an acceptable part of this era to be endlessly busy.
This is my collage for March. I am posting it in April because March was too busy. What this tells me is that it's time to make a point to make time each day for the things I'm passionate about...the things I'm on the planet to express. It's so easy to put our time for our passions on hold with all this era expects of us. This month I am going to MAKE time for my passions. I don't want to feel like this headless runner running to the next situation...like a pinball in a pinball machine, hitting one obstacle and bouncing to the next obstacle just to stay in the game.
What passions have you put on hold because this multi-task era lifestyle has caused us to be a head with our chicken chopped off? What passion will you re-commit to putting back into action on a consistent basis? Put your stake in the ground by writing it here. Write it down, make it happen is a magical formula that works.
