I want to talk about taking action so you can become a fluent English speaker.

This is something I sent to my subscribers recently, and many wrote back to say how much

they enjoyed hearing it, so I thought I’d share it here for everyone.

I got this short, honest mail recently:

"I’m just someone who wants success but never takes action."
4

This statement has been true for me at times in my life, and maybe for you as well...

So what can you do when you know you should take action, but you don't?
6

Here's what I do...
7

00:38
Pick up any small thing around you, like a pen, pencil or a book and then put that object
8
38680
5910
00:44
on your hand or a table.
9
44590
2410
00:47
(You can also just do this in your mind if you don't have anything around you at the
10
47000
3750
00:50
moment.)
11
50750
1000
00:51
Now, push the object around and notice how it does exactly what you want it to do.
12
51750
7230
00:58
You push it left and it moves left.
13
58980
2950
01:01
Push it right and it moves right.
14
61930
2890
01:04
The object is under your control.
15
64820
2670
01:07
Next, put the object down and think about yourself...
16
67490
5750
01:13
The difference between us and things like pencils is that we can choose how we react.
17
73240
6220
01:19
When we're pushed, maybe we push back.
18
79460
3820
01:23
If we fall down, we can choose to sit there and cry, or we can simply get back up.
19
83280
6510
01:29
We can choose how we react to life, and this means we're in control.
20

01:35
I’ve talked a lot about this in videos before because it’s such an important idea.
21
95030
6060
01:41
But many people tell me they disagree.
22
101090
3069
01:44
They say that life IS hard, or that they can’t control the things happening to them.
23
104159
5820
01:49
And to this I say, you’re right!
24
109979
3301
01:53
Whether you think your life is under your control or not, you’re correct, so why not
25
113280
5400
01:58
choose to believe you DO control it and then create the life you DO want?
26
118680
6230
02:04
This simple idea is so important because people who believe they’re in control of their
27
124910
4150
02:09
lives are the ones who take action...
28
129060
4590
02:13
These are the people who create change in their lives.
29
133650
3760
02:17
If you believe the future will be worse, or you feel you have no control over your life,
30
137410
5370
02:22
you likely won't do anything to change or improve your situation.
31
142780
4720
02:27
But when you know you control your life, you gain faith in the future, and so you act!
32
147500

02:34
It's really that simple.
33
154530
2460
02:36
ALL of my successful students believe they can change because they know they control
34
156990
4260
02:41
their lives.
35
161250
1710
02:42
So have faith in yourself and you will create the future you want!
36
162960

02:47
Remember: even imperfect action today is better than perfect action tomorrow.
