We Judge Ourselves By Our Intentions

We Judge Ourselves By Our Intentions

Intentions are wonderful things to have, but are worthless if you don't take action on them. You might give yourself credit because you had good intentions. Others will not be so kind. What you intend to do is not as important as what you actually do. Taking action on your intentions is key.

I always have good intentions, but there are times I fall short by not taking the action to back them up. Good intentions are a start, but they won't create anything. If all you have are good intentions you are wasting your time. Actions, not intentions, are the only things that create results. Ghandi often remarked," You may never know what results come of your action, but if you do nothing there will be no result."

Coaching

Don't just have good intentions, do something. The worst possible thing one can do with their intentions is nothing. You might feel good because you thought of something good to do, but you won't do any good by just thinking. Back up your intentions with actions. No one cares about what you intended to do. They only care about the action you took.

Coaching Question

What intention can you take action on today?

Live the Day

Today take action on an intention. Don't just think about doing something. Do it.
