There is No Success Without Action
Success Requires Action = Application is an everyday essential for your personal growth. No matter how much you learn, reflect, write, or share, nothing happens without action. When you take action, you build traction, and attract people, places, things, opportunities, and resources that will help you succeed. 



The Slightest Action is Worth More Than Every Last Word
Be Leaders Of Action = Action makes things happen. It is getting up and acting on what you believe, not relying on feelings, sentiments, or words. Isaiah 41 says, “they that wait upon the lord shall renew their strength.” But it is important to understand that waiting doesn’t always mean to sit still … At a restaurant a waiter waits on the tables, but is very active. Waiting on the lord means to be active and busy as you allow God to work in your life. Our waiting today needs to be active service.



Take What You Have and Do Something With It
Activate Powerful, Positive Change = Inside a leader there is a propensity to do something, a passion to make something happen. Take what you have, and do something with it. To the person who has been given much, much is required. This means we need to activate and make the world a better place because everyone deserves to be led well.



Today’s Actions Lead to Tomorrow’s Results
Today’s Intentions Link To Tomorrow’s Successes = Our actions today link to our results tomorrow, and our results tomorrow link to our actions the next day. If you want results tomorrow, realize the link to today’s action. If you want results next year, realize the intentionality needed today. We are better because of links. What will your link be today for a better tomorrow? 


The Greatest Success in Communication is Action - THE LAW OF RESULTS
Take Action! - The greatest success in communication is action. Good communicators want the audience to apply and multiply. They add value to leaders who multiply value in others. Have a plan for growth and take action. You need to take action in order to gain traction to move forward.

Act Your Way Into Greatness = Is there something you've been holding off on, but know you need to do? The more you wait, the longer it will take to happen. Great things will happen as soon as you take action.


Don't be a Benchwarmer
https://youtu.be/lbPbi34MgFY


Don't be a Benchwarmer = There is no better time than now. Don't wait for life to pass you by, take action today! In order to make something happen, you must act on it.

Are they helping you achieve your goals or holding you back? 
Make conscious choices to prioritize what truly matters.

Scriptures
James 1:15 NLT - 15 These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.
James 2:14, 21-22, 25 NLT - 14 What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don't show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? ... 21 Don't you remember that our ancestor Abraham was shown to be right with God by his actions when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete. ... 25 Rahab the prostitute is another example. She was shown to be right with God by her actions when she hid those messengers and sent them safely away by a different road.
