What We Care About (and what we get)

If you care enough for a result, you will most certainly attain it. – William James

I had a powerful conversation with my coach recently and one of the things we talked about was “cares.”

Another word would be priorities.

What I’m talking about is the difference between what we say we want (fantasies, desires, dreams, goals) and what we actually create (priorities, cares, results, outcomes).

Until we get real with the difference between what we say we want and what we’re actually doing, we are going to be stuck.

I don’t know if the following is a “thing,” but it’s useful: talk is cheap, action is priceless.

And remember: our thoughts are ‘talk’ just as much as our actual ‘verbal’ speech.

So, what are you thinking/saying, and what are you doing?

Your results tell the story.
