EcoTrain-QOTW (Season 8.6): "What Prevents Action?"

Hello and welcome to my page. I'm @daniky and this is my entry to the question of the week challenge, an initiative by @ecotrain. Kindly follow me as i share my thought with you regarding the question of the week which states that "What prevents action?". On my post I'll be laying emphazy on "The fear of outcomes and Procrastination."

There's a wise saying which states that "action speaks louder than words." Though words may bring about an action but the fact still lies that "a body will remain in a state of rest or uniform motion until a 'force' is applied to it." In addition, an action brings about a reaction because "for every action there's always an equal and opposite reaction to it". These statement are generally postulated by a renown scientist known as Isaac Newtons laws of motion.

Action brings about a motion induced by a reaction. No one is expected to ne static but rather dynamic. Come to look at it: without action, the world will be at a standstill as stagnancy and lack of development will definitely be the order of the day. You're where you are because of the action you've taken at some points of your life (be it positive or negative). Some actions are said to be desirable and are likely to yield a positive result while some other sort of actions are said to be undesirable and can yield a negative results one does not like. In which ever way, it pays to take action, but must be with a positive mindset to get a expected result.

WHY MANY PEOPLE TODAY FINDS IT HARD TO TAKE ACTION

Now we move to what prevents action. Below are two (2) core enemies of actions one should avoid at all cost;

1. Procrastination: This is said to be the "Thief of Time." Procrastination causes delay in any phase of life. It truncates the achievement of one's dream, goal and vision. It puts one behind time in the schedules of life and brings about limitation of one's destiny. Procrastination mar your reputation making you look less resourceful, less diligent and irresponsible in your official, economic and social cycles of life and otherwise. Procrastination prevents action because you keep rescheduling what you should have done in a nick of time. The gap between a runner up and a winner in a race is measured by the degree of swiftness of their action.
   Years back If i had procrastinated about furthering my studies i shouldn't have been a graduate but rather remain at the same low level i was many years back. My registration for an entrance examination shouldn't have been possible on the expiry day i registered if only i waited an hour more. That's the power of Action. A consistent man is known by his Action gradient and his ability to balance his emotional, family and circular lives. So procrastination is known to be a red flag in the world of action and if handled with levity at an early stage of life may result to the doom of such an individual or group. 😊Mind you, frequent late comers are procrastinators (from personal discovery).

2. Fear: This is another killer of dreams, goal and vision in any man or woman. It makes you shy away from your responsibilities and builds the wall of anxiety round your mindset. Fear prevents action and this makes some people give less priority to actions in their daily concepts of time. Fear can be bad, disorganizing, self-destructive, success-denying and above all, can bring about a low self-esteem which affects many people of today. It's said that the best way to overcome your challenges is to face it squarely with utmost confidence not minding the repercussion at times. Many citizens of a country would have gotten their freedom but the fear of the known or unknown never allowed them, so they remain in the same cycle of life for years.
   There's a saying by the late Caesar which states "Cowards die many times before their deaths; the Valiant never taste of death, but once." So, ignore the fear and face the challenge with utmost confidence and by this you activate the action that will definitely launch you to your desirable path in life.
