Action Trumps Motion

“The difference between motion and action.

Motion:
-talk to a personal trainer
-research your book idea
-explore different types of meditation

Action:
-do 10 squats
-write 1 sentence
-meditate for 1 minute

Motion feels like progress. Action is progress.” ~ James Clear

Yoda, “No! Try not! Do or do not. There is no try.”
Daddy, “Don’t be sorry. Don’t do it!
Resolutions are useless. They last a few hours.  Change who you are!
the desirable result materializes.
I’m going to write that book, the one that became
a three-volume set in my mind more than two decades ago!
But I’ve not written a sentence for it in longer than that.
I began a week ago spending five minutes daily decluttering.
The five minutes can last an hour and a half, but it’s action,
not just motion.
