“I am a person of action.” The third principle Andy Andrew writes in “The Traveler’s Gift” is a powerful reminder that in order to achieve our dreams, we must not wait for the perfect moment but instead make decisive moves toward our goals. Life is an unpredictable journey, reminding us that the future is never certain. However, the one thing that always remains in our control is our actions.
This principle teaches that when action is taken, even if it is in small steps, we are shaping our destiny.
This statement is about not making excuses or holding onto doubts that do not allow us to move forward, but instead making the choice to take the next step regardless of the uncertainties of the future.
More often that we like to admit, we allow fear, procrastination, and the wish to be perfect to hold us in one place.
Society is always waiting for the “right” time, opportunity, or conditions before moving forward. But truthfully, there is very seldom a perfect time to begin. If you are waiting for all the stars to align, you will miss many opportunities and be left with unfulfilled dreams.
I encourage you to adapt to the mindset of being a person of action, overcoming the obstacles that arise along the way.
Although the path ahead is unclear, take a step forward as it is better than standing still.
This principle is a challenge to rise above circumstance and enforce the thought that success is earned through persistence and the courage to act. When you embrace this principle – “I am a person of action” – you will begin to recognize that the future is not dictated by the world, but by your choices.
Call a stop to your hesitation and start living life the way you imagine.
