Unlimited power… the ability to take action…
If you read this blog regularly you probably know that I’m a fan of Anthony Robbins. This is one of my favourite talks of his, where he explains the unlimited power of taking action.
I especially love the part towards the end of this where he uses the analogy of a child learning to do something, such as learning to walk. If they fall down once, do they give up? If they fall down twice, do they give up? If they fall down 1,000 times, do they give up? No. They simply get back up and keep on trying.
Enjoy!

Love this post and the Colonial Sanders story about determination. Action is the key – the more action you take, the better your overall results. It is so easy to get caught in in analysis paralysis and not take action because of fear of failing.
The hardest bit is dealing with the fear and disenchantment when you try and fail and continuing to get up when you have been knocked down. That’s where friends can be brilliant – they help pick you up when you are down and cheer you on. Success is a team sport.
I’m so glad I popped in today – this is another great video. It’s something I needed to hear for myself. I’m on the mend healthwise and have been wanting to get my business back on track -as it’s been on pause for almost 18 months. I’ve tried to keep my blogs going so it doesn’t disappear off the radar completely. My accountant doens’t think it’s worth me continuing on but I want o get it going again. I’m with the CRS who are helping me and I’m at a stage now where I can think more clearly – so seeing this video helps me realise that I think I’m almost ready to take action. Coincidence or not the timing was good.

Absolutely Ingrid! This is another reason our friends and support network are so important. It can be easy to give up after a few setbacks and it’s those who love us enough to give us a kick up the behind when we need it or lift us up when we’ve fallen down, so to speak, who keep us going.
Plus, encouragement and positive comments left on blogs always helps too!
I’m so sorry to hear things have been rough for the last 18 months. I hope you’re feeling better and things pick up soon.
I don’t believe in coincidences – everything happens for a reason. All the best.
