The Science of Taking Action | Steve Garguilo | TEDxCarthage

Over the past two years, Steve has studied with psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists, neuroscientists, and drill sergeants to learn about the science of taking action and what sparks people or holds people back. After being involved in the TED community and a lot of design thinking work, Steve was tired of talking about ideas, so he went on a journey to understand how to take more clear, specific action on ideas, and learned how to create a bias towards action so that it becomes a norm.
Steve Garguilo works with people from all walks of life from all over the world to help them make their ideas happen. He led the revolution to transform the culture of the 5th largest company in the world by instigating and shaping a global grassroots movement at Johnson & Johnson that engaged 23,000 employees and led to countless stories of product and people development. In February 2017, he released his Amazon Bestselling book, Surge: Your Guide to Put Any Idea into Action. His company Action Surge focuses on helping people take clear, specific actions on ideas.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    ACTION IS A MUSCLE. i'm sitting here and thinking, it mostly boils down to habit just like everything else. DON'T SET OUT TO DO IT LATER. saying you'll do it later becomes a habit, we try to stay in our comfort zone but we need to get in the habit of getting out of it. *commit to taking action right now* Don't make it bigger than it is. IT IS EASIER TO COME UP WITH IDEAS WHEN IT IS FOR OTHERS *Action storming* generating actions for other's ideas *Every in life that is hard is made of a series of easy tasks, just take the first step.* COMMIT TO YOURSELF.

    I think it's important to notice that those people who demonstrated the success by taking action, they don't j u s t taken action, the action was accompanied by inspiration and desire, i.e. really great positive feelings. The action had not been taking from the place of fear, anxiety, low-self esteem, and so on, because what ever action you will take which is based on the self-limiting negative beliefs in the long term is a short lived. If we think from the perspective - change your mind (or state of Being) and your reality will change accordingly, we can say that - change your beliefs and thoughts and your actions will be really productive which will produce joy and satisfaction for yourself and most importantly for others.

    Actually Insha'Allah is not the word procrastination. It means by the permission of Allah. Because not a leaf moves without Allah's permission. As Muslims, we don't use this word to gloss over things. We use it to mean that we can handle it with Allah's permission. Of course, first of all, we must strive for everything ourselves. However, no matter how hard we try, we know that nothing will happen unless Allah allows it. Of course, I have to admit that some Muslims use this word to gloss over things 🙂 After all, we are all human and we can make mistakes 🙂😊

Take an action is specific to one thing.
