I’m all ears when someone begins to speak about the power for living a significant life.  So, I’m listening a lot these days since the subject is being addressed in every form of communication available to us.  The only problem is there are SO many suggested sources for this power; it’s more than a little confusing.  A short list of those I’ve seen includes:

• Having strong Intention
• Focusing on what you want
• Establishing a compelling purpose

• Learning some heretofore well-kept Secret

While there is value in some (but not all) of these concepts there is a principle that trumps them all: the principle of action.  I was reminded a few days ago that there is no power in intention; there is power in acting on the intention.  Focus doesn’t produce results, but focused action does.  A defined, compelling purpose for life or a given project is foundational, but it is useless apart from disciplined action toward that purpose.  Intelligent, impassioned, consistent action towards worthy goals is the power for significant living.  

Don’t get trapped inside your head.  Engage now in the actions that can take you to realization of the intentions, the focus and the purpose.
