As a follow-up to the article I shared few days ago on the D-T-D of business philosophy, I posed a question yesterday afternoon “If 6 birds are perching on a fence and 2 of them decided to fly, how many birds will be left on the fence?” I got varied responses, few were correct, alot were wrong and others were just indifferent. In any case, if the import of that earlier article was understood, then I wouldn’t have gotten some responses I got. Attached again, is the diagrammatic explanation of the D-T-D and sincerely ask yourself where you belong.
A startling survey carried out recently by EMMAB GLOBAL CONCEPT, a Management Consultancy firm revealed that 50% of people actually Dream and Think but never Do(Take Action). Until you take action all your dreaming and thinking in my words, is as useless as all the zeros after a decimal point. Have you not read that over 80% of the world’s wealth is been controlled by just 20% of people? It is not because they are the smartest or wisest, they simply dreamt, thought and most importantly took action(DO). Did they make mistakes? yes! Did they loss money? yes! Did they meet brick-wall at some points? yes! but they never lost enthusiasm.
All the 2 birds were doing were just deciding….until their decision is back with action, work done is zero and they are no different from those who didn’t even think or decided on what to do. Action they say speak louder than voice, this cant be more true as it is our action at a decision that births the intent of what is in the mind. Probably they were also thinking of the risk involved, but like I have always alluded, the risk of not taking a risk is a greater risk. The only time we will not need to take risk is when we are dead and gone.
Even the Holy Writ puts it very clearly, we should be DOERS of the words and not hearers alone. Until you take ACTION you will not be exposed to further steps that will refine your thoughts and decision.
The 2 birds that decided to fly and the 4 that didn’t even bother thinking are one and the same. We tend to create limitations that do not exist in reality. Our mind is a battle ground and if you can defeat in your mind you can take actions to defeat physically.
Hear what Paula White said “your only boundaries in life are your own perception of potential. ANYTHING is possible”
When are you going to take that ACTION that will move you a step away from your doldrums and a step closer to your desired liberation????
Many of us go through a learning process but end up not been educated! That’s a talk for another day.
