"ANY THING that requires ACTION and that involves CHANGE will ALWAYS be 'easier said than done'. But remember, change comes not by what has been SAID but by what has been DONE!" Mike Spillman (11.10.14)
Losing weight. Quitting smoking. Better time management. Reading more. Setting and working on daily goals. ANY New Year's Resolution.
If we were playing the television game show, "The $10,000 Pyramid", this category could be labeled, "Things That Are Easier Said Than Done".
As my quote states, ANY thing that requires action and change will ALWAYS fit into that same category: Easier Said Than Done. This is why so many people fail at their "New Year's Resolution" attempts. It's EASY to talk about all of these things that one plans to change and accomplish. It's actually FUN to talk about those things and it makes you FEEL good! "I mean, c'mon...listen to what I'm saying I'm going to do! Look out world!"
However, the "more important" truth can be found in the last part of my quote: "...change comes not by what has been SAID but by what has been DONE!"
This is similar to one of my articles from last week where I discussed the fact that history books are not written about those who quit and gave up. The same is true in that history books are not written about all of the things that people SAID they were going to do. Instead, they are written about GREAT FEATS that are DONE by those who put their words and thoughts into ACTION.
To get right to the point, "Talk is cheap!"
Here's the thing, friend. YOU are the only one that can do what needs to be done. Yes, I can (and will) continue to encourage and challenge you in this area but, again, YOU are still the one that has to take ACTION.
As I've said before, you must decide the importance of your "WHY" as well as the "Power of Your PURPOSE". WHY are you wanting to do whatever it is that you wish to accomplish? What is the PURPOSE of what you wish to accomplish? The strength of BOTH of these will determine your dedication to this activity as well as the needed discipline.
Remember, results come by what has been DONE, not by what has been SAID.
As you absorb the challenge that will ALWAYS come when you make a decision to move forward in any area of your life, always be sure to...
"Make it an AWESOME day! (Who else is going to do it for you?)"
