Category: Being Action Oriented

If somebody says they love you, but acts like they don’t… believe the act.

If somebody says they’re trustworthy, but acts two-faced and shady… believe the shady.

If somebody says they’re hardworking, but whines at sight of hard work… believe the whine.

If somebody says they’re humble, but obsessively tries to steal the spotlight… believe the stealing.

If somebody says family is the most important, but scoffs when you say you’re prioritizing family over work… believe the scoff.

What’s funny is that the people who act in contradiction to what they say might actually believe what they’re saying. But, what YOU should believe is how they act. Always.

Grandiosity is a cunning distraction.

Here we are, filling our heads up with all of the brilliant, jaw-dropping, earth-shaking things we’re going to do with our limited time, energy, and attention…

While we take somewhere between zero and one microscopic step towards bringing those grand visions to life.

Don’t let grandiosity fool you. It’s not leading you any closer to your grand visions.

Unless, of course, those grand visions are driving you to do more of the things that’ll actually bring them to life.

Remember, life is measured in steps; not visions.

Less grandiosity. More humble action.

Not trying may appear safe, but it’s actually quite risky.

Trying may appear risky, but it’s actually quite safe.

Appearances can be deceiving. And how your mind (ego) responds to what appears to be risky is… avoid at all costs.

The mind likes to preserve what’s here—what’s guaranteed. It likes to maintain its reputation, stray from embarrassment, and stick to what makes it (you) look good.

But, by not trying you:

• Never learn
• Become less competent
• Miss moments of self-discovery
• Close opportunistic/ serendipitous doors
• Leave open-thought loops around “what if…” (regret)

See, it’s by trying that you get the opposite of all of the above mentioned things…

• Insight
• Competence
• Self-Awareness
• New opportunities / serendipity
• Understanding of how things would’ve played out (no regret)

…An undoubtedly much safer means to living your best life.

P.s. In case you missed it, you can read the best of what I posted to MoveMe Quotes last week, here.

A beautiful home isn’t something that happens—it’s something you make happen.

A beautiful mindset isn’t something that happens—it’s something you make happen.

A beautiful life isn’t something that happens—it’s something you make happen.

If you let life happen to you, the byproduct will be a mess—for life always moves towards chaos.

Beauty is the byproduct of taking those given messes and turning them into something you can be proud of.
