KEEP Going! (Look Up! Get Up! Get Going and KEEP Going!)


 Every "step" that has been discussed in this "series" is vitally important. Without even ONE of these "steps" the whole process becomes ineffective. The process becomes futile. And nothing changes in and/or for your life. 
 
Think about it (and I've discussed it every step of the way), it is SO important for each of us to LOOK UP and see what we may miss on a daily basis. The nice and kind people that can enrich our lives as well as possible opportunity that passes by on a daily basis. We just don't see and CAN'T see it as long as we keep our heads down and fail to LOOK UP
 
And yet, simply LOOKING UP - as necessary as that is - alone, doesn't really accomplish much of anything, either. We may SEE opportunity as it goes by and we may even acknowledge that we see it and recognize it as opportunity but...so what? "Hey look, there goes another opportunity! Wow, there sure is a lot more opportunity available that I see now that I'm looking up!"
 
O.k. But it really doesn't help you in any way, does it? UNLESS you take the NEXT step and actually GET UP so you can begin to take action! 
 
Now friend, pay attention, because THIS IS THE PLACE where most people get stuck!  
 
A decision is made...a "commitment" or "resolution" is stated BUT, too often, that's where everything comes to a screeching halt.  Making the decision to actually GET UP and prepare to take action is a VITAL part of this process but, just "getting up" still will not accomplish anything if you just get up and stand there. Thinking. Planning. Preparing. Talking. Thinking. Planning....you get the picture. 
 
This is where so many develop the "paralysis of analysis" or, said in a different way, they become paralyzed by FEAR.  We can fool ourselves into thinking we are doing necessary work to make sure we take the correct action by making the correct preparation and...we just stand there and fail to actually DO something that matters. 
 
So, yeah...often, what is required is that you just "DO IT AFRAID". Do it anyway. Do it "in spite of..." To quote a famous slogan, "Just DO it!".  You MUST "Get Going" or, guess what? You will continue to just stand there and wonder why nothing has ever changed. 
 
Now, THIS is where the real journey begins and where the real "work" and "challenges" begin to take place. Seriously, if actually following through were "easy" then, you already know what I'm about to say, EVERYONE that ever attempted to fulfill their dreams and "life vision" would be able to do so and WOULD do so, right?  
 
Will it be easy? Likely not! But, will it be worth it? That depends on you and your "WHY" that has prompted you to follow this dream in and for your life. How important is it to you? For you? 
 
Here's the deal: You can know this for sure - you will NEVER know the feeling of accomplishing whatever it is you have set as a goal for yourself UNTIL and UNLESS you actually take action and "get going".  
 
But how determined will you be to "KEEP GOING"? Again, how important is it TO you and FOR you? Take a look at the graphic at the top of this article and notice that the "superhero" has flown PAST Earth and is continuing to go beyond what we would think is even possible. Think about the truth in all of this that, by following this process, you will likely go further than you could ever imagine. 
 
Wouldn't it be something incredible to experience that in and for your life....FINALLY
 
Bottom line, don't ever give up. There will be set backs and road blocks. You may even have to take detours that you never imagined you'd have to take but, again, how important is it to you?
 
The only time you fail is when you give up. If you get knocked down or knocked back, dust yourself off and GET BACK UP and KEEP GOING! Don't you DARE ever give up, friend. 
 
So, in closing, let me assure you that all of this is not just "guess work" on my part. I've lived it and am STILL living it even as I type this sentence. I'm actually about to take another "detour" on my journey. And, because of that, I likely won't be doing another blog article, podcast or YouTube video for a while. I'm not sure on that for sure at this point but I know that my schedule is changing dramatically to the point that I don't know that I'll have the time to do so for the time being.
 
But know this...even with this detour, I know I am still moving for a better and brighter future in and for my life. And, whenever it is that you find and read this blog article, I hope YOU will be encouraged to keep your head up so you can see the opportunity around you and that you will then GET UP, GET GOING and KEEP GOING.
 

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE

GET GOING! (Look Up! Get Up! GET GOING!)


 "Look Up, Get Up and then, GET GOING!"
 
 Just like the thought of "looking up" and seeing all of the opportunity that may surround you each and every day, doesn't accomplish anything unless you GET UP and prepare to actually DO something, even GETTING UP doesn't accomplish much unless you actually GET GOING! 
 
Yes, GETTING UP is a form of action but it can also be a move that still results in INACTION if all you do is stand there. Sometimes we want to (and maybe even LIKE to) fool ourselves into thinking we are actually DOING when, in reality, we're simply still just WATCHING from the sidelines. 
 
Watching from the sidelines will never allow you to accomplish much in or for your life. Sure, you can learn a lot from watching but, at some point, that becomes a waste of time if you never put what you have learned into ACTION.

I've always heard that, when an athletic event takes place (let's say a football game for this example) there's always three groups of people that are present or "shown" at that time.
1. Those that are on the field actually engaged IN the game and that are MAKING AN IMPACT on what's happening.
2. Those in the bleachers/stands that are simply WATCHING what's happening
3. Those that are outside of the stadium, that don't have tickets that would allow them to be inside where the game is actually taking place. They hear the crowd groan or roar and WONDER WHAT'S HAPPENING
 
So, for you, what will it be? What "path" or "position" will you take in and for your life? Here's the deal...it's YOUR choice even if you are unsure as to what to do or how to do it. 

SPECIFIC STEPS TO TAKE RIGHT NOW:

GET UP! (Look Up and then GET Up!)


In my last article we discussed the "simple" 4-Step Process for Success stating the need to "LOOK UP! GET UP! GET GOING! KEEP GOING!"

We focused on the first part, which was, "LOOK UP!"  and how important it is for each of us, no matter how difficult things may seem - to keep our heads UP and our eyes UP so that we can see what is taking place around us and the possible OPPORTUNITIES that may be around us even when we don't feel that such a thing even exists. 

 Ephesians 6:13... "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, TO STAND."

 So, in that particular situation discussed in Ephesians, the same is true in this whole discussion! It's GREAT that - in the Scripture example - someone would do all that they could to prepare for battle by putting on the necessary armor, BUT...all of that does NO good at all if you don't ever actually STAND UP and go out TO the battle!

So, it's GREAT that you now have begun to LOOK UP and notice what's going on around you and, maybe even notice OPPORTUNITY that is all around you but...

 If you never actually GET UP so that you can ENGAGE with and TAKE ADVANTAGE of any and all opportunity that may present itself, what good does it do? Short answer - NONE!

You're read me writing this before and, if you've watched my videos and/or listened to my podcasts, you've also heard me say this many times in the past: TALK IS CHEAP!

 I get it! I've "been there, done that" and have sat and sat and sat and sat, all the while SAYING I wanted to take action but, for whatever reason (excuses), I simply stayed where I was. I KNEW I WAS BETTER THAN THAT and, likely, YOU feel the same way and KNOW, deep down inside, that the same is true about YOU, friend!

So, don't just LOOK UP but, friend, you know it's time and you know it's PAST time to actually GET UP and start taking action. How? You GET GOING and you KEEP going - which we'll be talking about in the next couple of articles. 

SPECIFIC STEPS TO TAKE RIGHT NOW:                                                                                          

1. Be sure to listen to the PODCAST and/or watch the VIDEO on this topic - you'll HEAR and SEE my excitement and enthusiasm about this topic!

Easy to Do - Easy NOT to Do!



 True, I will say that this is an "easy" 4 Step Process on how to make positive PROGRESS toward a better and brighter future in and for your life. But, as it says in the graphic above, it's EASY TO DO and it's also EASY NOT TO DO!
 
That doesn't change the TRUTH of what is being presented in this article (also my podcasts and videos...see links below) but it does acknowledge that, perhaps, it may be even easier for most NOT to do and implement in and for their lives and their future. 
 
You know "the drill", right? We get discouraged, frustrated and distracted and we tend to walk around with our heads down - figuratively AND literally at times. Have you ever wondered what all you have MISSED by doing so?
 
This actually ties in very closely to the series that I just completed talking about "See It - Want It - Get It!". If and when we walk around with our heads hanging down we simply MISS OUT on so many GOOD THINGS and maybe even many OPPORTUNITIES
 
If you've followed me for very long at all you've likely heard me say something along the lines of, "Opportunity Doesn't Always Knock! Sometimes You Have to Go Out There and Tackle That Sucker Out on The Sidewalk!"
 
But you won't ever see it (DON'T SEE IT!) with your head down. 
 
Paul, in the 3rd chapter of the book of Philippians says that (and I'm paraphrasing... I shared this a few weeks ago and you can also look it up for yourself...it's around verse 13-15) he kept his eyes "on the prize" of the calling that God had for his life! He put EVERYTHING else behind him...he focused...kept his head up and his eyes open!
 
So, there's your assignment...step #1: LOOK UP! 
 
Try it out for yourself by putting it into practice TODAY...NOT tomorrow or next week. 
 
Oh, and another "assignment" is for you to sign up for free and join my community on Skool...check the link out below!

Don't GET IT?!?


 In this last installment of this "SEE IT - WANT IT - GET IT" series, we will focus on the last part that you see emphasized in the above graphic: "DON'T GET IT?"

Now, right off the start that, if you haven't done so already, be sure to read all of the previous article in this series so that you can fully "connect" to this final installment. (You may also want to connect to the podcast and the YouTube videos - all links below).

 I've been talking about the fact that there may be many different reasons as to why you - or anyone else - simply DON'T or CAN'T "see it", "want it" and/or "get it". for many, it's not that they don't have a desire for something better in and for their life but they simply don't have the necessary belief system that can support that desire or dream. They just CAN'T see it as a real possibility in/for their life and because they DON'T or CAN'T "see it" ("it" is that dream or desire) and, as a simple result of this process, they DON'T get it and WON'T get it.Why? You CANNOT GET what you don't see or want!

And, again, if you're o.k. with staying where you are for the rest of your life then, guess what? IT'S YOUR LIFE! But, I choose to believe that most of you that are reading this article right now DO have "something" deep inside of you that is "burning" and waiting to be fanned into a mighty flame! 

How sad it is when you have within you the very things you need to live a bigger and better life. I do believe that you DO have, inside of you, what you need and you have it right now. It's there. Waiting to be uncovered, fanned into that burning flame  that I mentioned earlier. 

So, HOW CAN YOU DISCOVER and UNCOVER "that thing" that is "HIDDEN" deep inside? 

Simple answer: you need help to do so!

Yep. 

And, you probably already know what I'm going to say next. I CAN HELP YOU do just that! In case you don't quite get that, let me ask you another question - If you, on your own, had the ability and/or knowledge to do this, don't you think you would already be enjoying some success in that area?

Here your next step. Of course, that depends on whether or not you actually WANT to uncover and discover what you have waiting for you and your future. The next step is for you to go to my community on Skool (link below) and sign up, for free, to be a part of that community. When you do, introduce yourself with a post and I will welcome you personally and we will begin the process right then and there!

Once again,  the ball is in your court - it's your CHOICE
