Pat Mesiti – Soaring Higher Pat Mesiti International Motivational Speaker gives you principles to soar higher!
One good action is greater than a million good intentions Have you ever met people who are always going to do something, they are about to do something, they were going to do something, but never actually did? People do not respect intentions, they respect action. Many years ago I had the opportunity to be the executive director of a residential drug rehabilitation centre. It was in debt. It was in a mess. Nobody wanted to touch it, and I was full of good intentions and great feelings for these poor disadvantaged young people. But it wasn’t until I actually got involved, took hold of the reigns, and turned that situation of debt around that I actually felt a sense of achievement. All the good intentions in the world, all the good feelings of emotion and feelings of compassion, didn’t amount to anything until I got involved. That resulted in many young lives being changed. Isn't it amazing how people judge themselves by their intentions, yet they judge others by their actions! They believe that if they intended to do something then it is actually done. We have to learn to be people of positive action, not professional procrastinators. Glean inspiration from this statement:
Life is about action. Progress in life always involves risks and action. Former Chrysler Chairman, Lee Iacocca, says actions should not be confused with haste. How true that is. People run around so busy and so frantic yet they make very little progress because they are not people of decisive action. All of us need to understand that action produces results. Challenge What is it right now that you are procrastinating about? Ask yourself if it is because you are afraid, because you don't know the outcome, or because you are not coping well. Develop an action plan that will take you to the level of living you want to achieve.
