Build with Clay #102: Action
A bi-weekly newsletter sparking personal growth
Hi, reader!
Trivia: With the current speed of space travel, how long would it take to get to the closest star to Earth (not counting the sun)?
With that, welcome to the 102nd newsletter! This one is all about Action.
A question.
Five seagulls are sitting on a dock.
One of the seagulls decides to fly away.
How many seagulls are left?
(take a moment before reading further!)
A thought.
There are five seagulls left on the dock.
Absolutely nothing has changed.
Deciding to fly away and actually flying away are two very different things.
It’s the same with our life.
We can decide to move to a new city.
We can decide to get in better shape.
We can decide to call our friend.
We can decide to do yard work.
We can decide to eat healthier.
We can decide to move jobs.
We can decide to get a dog.
We can decide to retire.
But until we actually do it…
Until we actually take action...
Nothing has changed.
What have you decided to do but need to take action on?
A quote.
“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do.”
Answer: 76,000 years!
Ohhhh, I love that quote. "You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do"
