“Action is the foundational key to all success.”  ~Pablo Picasso

This week we’re talking about success!

After pondering the topic I had this realization, ideas are simply thoughts that when acted upon, materialize in the physical world and push us closer to success.

For example, every building that was ever built began as a thought, an idea,  that formed in someone’s mind. It took action and a whole lot of collaboration to bring it into existence and become the structure that it is today, whether it is the Empire State Building or a tiny-house.

Have you ever thought about how many times you had a brilliant idea…THAT YOU NEVER TOOK ACTION ON?

Three months later, you see your idea materialized in someone else’s business, family, career, relationship, or informercial and you say to yourself, “That was my idea!” or “Why didn’t I do that?”

You see it isn’t about the idea as much as it is about the actions you take (or don’t) that actually bring forth your ideas into existence.

Sometimes, not taking action is the only thing holding you back from accomplishing the level of success you desire.

Something to Think About?

If Nicolas Appert never took action on his idea to can food in 1809, Ezra J. Warner might never had the idea to invent the can opener in 1858. Both of these inventions were simply ideas that were acted upon.

So, the next time you have an amazing idea, act and act fast. It is far better to act upon a slightly imperfect idea, than to NEVER have acted because you were waiting for the perfect idea!

So what amazing ideas have been rolling around in your mind lately?

And you’re waiting for what?
