Life is made up of choices and actions. Your every action creates a wave in the fabric of social and emotional relationships between people. Your every choice has a consequence. Look at the word “consequence” It is derived from a word in Latin, “consequentem” which means “follow after.” After our every choice, comes a sequence of events connected to our choice. To achieve your goals you must have an action plan that tries to contain every possible consequence of your choice and actions.

Think of a man who stays home 24 hours a day and never goes out. You may think that he doesn’t make choices or the waves of his actions don’t intersect with those of other people. This is what he wants, his reason of not going outside. In fact staying in is his choice and his inaction changes the fabric of the future. We can write a lot of scenarios according to his inaction. In one scenario he doesn’t go out and therefore he can’t save a kid from a car accident. In another, he goes out the car hits him instead of the kid. Everything you can imagine is a possibility and inaction is a variable as strong as action. Therefore while making plans to achieve your goals you must always remember the inaction as an option.

Here is a real life example for you. Let’s say you are an investor and you have invested a large amount in the stock market. Everything is going well, the value of your equities are rising. One day an earthquake hits California and all the communication is broken with the region. Most investors would start to sell their stocks and the prices would fall. The next day, when the news arrives that there was no serious damage in California and only the communication lines and satellite network had a break down, they would start to buy back to salvage their losses. If you used the inaction card in this situation, first you didn’t lose anything and second your stocks gained value because of the other panicked investors.

This was just a financial example. It never helps to beat yourself up while waiting for a telephone call. In every aspect of life there are moments inaction is the best way of action. However those moments are not frequent. Therefore your action plan must be filled with possible actions for possible conditions. You must know what to do in every turn of your plan. If your goal is promotion, you might make a plan to take out your rival by making his mistakes known to your boss. Even if you try to keep your actions secret from your rival, he may learn what you did. So you must have a plan for both of the situations. To achieve your goals you must be very well prepared. If you make fun of the people who take their umbrellas every time they go out, from now on start to think twice before laughing at them. If it rains one day they could be the ones that laugh at you.
