Act With Vision

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.)

  • Default vs Intentional

    Default. Habitual. Less-than-fully-Conscious. Routine. Comfortable. The Usual. So much of what we do is out of habit. It’s routine. It’s just the way we do it. There’s good reason for how this happens and why. We’re built to create and use routines and habits. It’s efficient. It leaves room to focus on threats and survival. It’s primitive….
