Day 54 - Action

It is said that actions speak louder than words. Yet it is not so much loudness as clarity and truth that matters. A gentle action can be far more powerful than a forceful one.

Reflection
  • Action is how wisdom changes the world.
  • Without action, our knowledge and insights die with us.
  • What wisdom are you holding onto?
Action
  • Write down three actions that you can take to change the world.
  • Find a way to make one small change that will contribute to the well being of your community and take action on that change today.
“When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.”
Confucius
“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”
Dale Carnegie
“What we do comes out of who we believe we are.”
Rob Bell
“Do actions agree with words? There's your measure of reliability. Never confine yourself to the words.”
Frank Herbert
“Unlike a lot of people, I don't feel powerless. I know I can do something. But anyone can do something, it's not about being special. It's about deciding to do it - to dive into work for peace and justice and care for everybody on the planet.”
Patch Adams
