Action Breeds Clarity

I'm hitting y'all with a quote from the great philosopher Post Malone 😂I kid I kid...but I do love this quote and feel that it truly resonates with what I care about and what I would love Action Breeds Clarity to stand for. "Our generation thinks it's cool not to care. It's not. Effort is cool. Caring is cool. Staying loyal is cool. Try it out." This podcast is a call for action takers to lead by example and make it cool for our generation to make it cool to care...and then put action behind it. Consistently.

In today's episode we revisit the 5 most common regrets of the dying and tie them to 4 upper limit barriers that, Gay Hendricks talks about in his book The Big Leap. These are ways we can be held back by showing up in our lives and taking action to move toward the life calling out to us. When action is not taken, this is often what leads to regret. And, at Action Breeds Clarity - we ain't about that life!!! Don't forget to visit actionbreedsclarity.com to download your free resources!

This episode is vital for those serious about living while you're alive and not waiting until it's too late to move toward what you really want out of life. VITAL. We cover some statistics and information on regret from 3 sources: https://www.inc.com/jeff-haden/new-research-reveals-what-people-regret-most-of-all-5-ways-to-make-sure-you-never-do.html (A inc.com article.) https://www.huffpost.com/entry/regret-infographic_n_5529641 (A Huffington Post infographic/article) An article fromhttps://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2012/feb/01/top-five-regrets-of-the-dying ( The Guardian) Taking a close look at regret is not morbid. It should at the very least be a cautionary tale of how not to live, and at the most it is fuel for your fire to show up wholeheartedly to your life and for yourself. You got this!

Hey action takers...it's been a minute, huh? Well, as you may know, we don't believe imperfect action is anything to be ashamed about. Life is a journey, mistakes will happen, and the only failure is giving up on yourself. And, we want no part of that last one! We are BACK BABY!!! We took some time to reset, refocus, and even just rest and we're excited to start bringing you new content, new resources, and new ways to think about taking action. If you're new around here, maybe forgot about us in our hiatus, then this episode is to reintroduce us. Enjoy!

If we had the ability to secretly follow around people who flake out on dates, meetings, calls, who don't communicate properly, and who don't follow through....we would see that 9 times out of 10 these same people show up for themselves with the same lack of commitment that they show everyone else. Lack of self-integrity is how we lose our power and energy. When we build self-integrity you can start showing up for yourself with more conviction, commitment, and integrity. This grows your personal power and allows you to move toward your goals faster, overcome obstacles more effortlessly, and stay focus on things that truly matter. That's what this episode is all about! Check it out and don't forget to download your free action workbook at freeactionchallenge.com

This episode dives deep into 4 obstacles that can come up in the middle part of the process and some suggestions to overcome them. Often when we commit to showing up for ourselves, playing bigger in the world, and taking action on our goals the excitement of the early stages wears off and we find ourselves encountering obstacles, challenges, setbacks, and disappointments. It can get tough. It can get lonely. A lot of self-doubt can pop up, it can suck to stay consistent with your habits and taking action day in and day out when you see other people drop off that said they wanted the same things too.

A "bit part" is a small part in a show or movie with minimal lines. It's also so fun for me to see BIG TIME actors in a bit part. I wonder if they ever doubted if they'd ever truly achieve their dreams and have a major role. It can be tough showing up consistently and not getting the results you desire. It can be tough showing up and having to be patient and trust that your efforts will pay off over time. But what's tougher than that...giving up on yourself. Whatever your dream is, being a parent, losing weight, starting a business...YOU CAN DO IT. This episode provides some perspective, tips, and inspiration for those committed to creating a life they are proud to live. Thanks for listening!
