Act With Vision

ByMatthew

Vision without action is a daydream. Action without vision is a nightmare. – Japanese Proverb

You have a wonderful dream. A magnificent vision of the future. A future filled with joy, service and fulfillment.

We all do.

Without action however it is meaningless.

You must act. You must take steps, both small and large – all the time.

The converse is just as tragic.

Confusing activity with action is a mistake many make.

Action is a form of motion that matters.

Action in service of a worthy vision is the highest form of motion.

Being busy just wastes energy and time.

***

What’s your dream? Take action on it.

What are you doing that doesn’t really matter? Stop. (Do something else. Something that does matter.)
