Week 5 “actions”, The Dressed Rehearsal Before Opening Night.

Dwight L.Carter Sr.

If our thoughts are our actions in rehearsal then words are our actions in dressed rehearsal before opening night.  Webster defines Action as: an act of will, the manner or method of performing.

Life is a performance, all of life is lived and in essence choreographed by our thoughts, by what we say and then played out by our actions. To further our path in life these foundational behaviors result in the habits we maintain and then the character we build culminating in our all-encompassing destiny. 

Dwight L. Carter Sr.  My path to action!

  • Cultivate a desire to make a difference. It starts with purpose, that inner need to contribute. It’s actually in all of us, by design.
  • Produce an environment that supports you and your vision. Let go of those people places and things that do not support you. You already know who and what’s on that list. It been nagging at you for years now is the time to break free.
  • Provide information for yourself in regards to getting results. The greatest source of action and influence in your life is the books you  read and the people you meet.
  • Get involved with people & organizations who support&create the environment, vision, & result you are committed to. Like-minded people support and drive each other. Enough is enough being social doesn’t always support “YOU”. Following the same old crowd is debilitating to your calling and your personal vision.
  • Structure your thought life to your vision.  I cant express this enough, your thoughts and what you do with them shapes your day, your week, your month, your year, your L.I.F.E.
  • Speak your vision. Stand up and step forward, there is no one just like you. All of us need to hear your voice and your expression of encouragement and leadership for the rest of us. No one person has all of the pieces of the plan. Each of us have our part to share and teach to others.
  • Take action in faith. Never see the small steps as unimportant. If only for today tell yourself you can do this. Trust that knowing-ness given to you at birth. That still small voice that teaches you and instructs you. Listen to it you know the masters voice.

Dr. Enaka Yembe is a Physician, and the founder of American Stat-Care centers who was able to open her first clinic from her sick bed in 2006 and grow it to a 7-figure company.

5 steps to taking action:

1.Have faith in your abilities. Each of us was born with the God-given ability to be successful. Hold fast to this thought, especially during moments of indecision.

2. Face your fears. What’s holding you back? Examine your fears closely and work on overcoming them. Is the fear rational, in reaction to real danger? Or, is it based on emotion?

3. Step out of your comfort zone. Stretching ourselves a little takes courage and requires us to take action. Stepping out of our comfort zone will give us new confidence and hence the courage to reach new heights.

4.Accept failure. Failure will come. It’s a part of life. Use your failures as stepping-stones to success. Learn from failures and move on. Don’t wait to take action because of the fear of failure.

5. Be independent. Learn to stand on your own and have confidence in the decisions that you make. Avoid relying on the support or approval of those around who will prevent you from taking action.

Next-week Habits:

Habits are routine behaviors done on a regular basis. They are recurrent and often unconscious patterns of behavior and are acquired through frequent repetition. Many of these are unconscious as we don’t even realize we are doing them.
