“Dude! Take some action and get some blood in the game.” Have you heard that before?

Have you taken tons of action, yet you still haven’t gotten anywhere with your dreams?

What if taking too much action is not good for you? What if it’s holding you back from accomplishing your goals?

Let’s examine two types of action and see which one fits into your routine.

Passive Action

I love me some passive action. It involves consuming content. Reading blogs. Listening to podcasts. Watching webinars. Buying books. All cool things I love to do and I’ve done a lot of. I bet you love passive action as well. Humans are curious creatures, so we’re naturals at it.

Hey now, passive action can’t have all the fun. There is another type of action that is super rare. It’s not as easy to accomplish. In fact, it involves fear, so lots of people and coaches avoid it.

Drama, drama, drama.

So you have some drama in your life? 

Sometimes you run into it.  Sometimes you create it.  Sometimes you attract it.  Either way, it can be no fun to experience.

The good news is there are many options to manage how you deal with drama.  

For starters, you could punch an alien.  

Then again that has some negative side effects, and there is the whole innocent extraterrestrial aspect. Who would want to hurt E.T.?

Even better advice would be to read and apply the concepts in this blog post.  I’ll share a few strategies you can put into practice right away to help manage the drama in your life.

One of my favorite quotes is from the Roman Emporer, Marcus Aurelius.

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts.”

That quote resonates with me. It’s also one of the first quotes I ever memorized, and not because I had too. I found it a few years ago, and it stuck with me.

You see early on I didn’t have the life skills to use that quote to my advantage. It would have flown right over my head. When I was growing up:

• I lacked confidence.
• I was afraid to use my voice.
• I didn’t understand the positives of failure.
• I had no knowledge about the power of my thoughts.
• I was missing key life skills such as mindfulness, meditation, gratitude and many more.

I know now that I was playing small. As a result, I missed out on a lot of opportunities.

I have some news for you. I’m here to tell you how I feel about it.

As I began my day building my new online program, I found myself watching cool cat videos on Facebook. It was awesome, and I don’t even have a cat.

I was sucked in, and I fully embraced it.

On my journey as a coach and being coached by others, I’ve learned there is a time and a place for cat videos. There is also a time when you need to flip the switch and say no to things that are keeping you from being your best self.

Below are three ways to help you bust out of your rut, kick the cat videos to the curb, and bring your awesomeness to the table like a pro.
