Do you talk about your dreams?
What you are going to accomplish some day.
Where you will be in the future.
You can talk all you want, but it’s not going to bring your dreams any closer to reality.
Talk Is Cheap, Dreams Cost
There is a big difference between talking about your dreams and making them happen.
Talking about goals is easy.
Doing something about them is hard.
Sadly, most people never get past the talking part.
No one ever accomplished their dreams sitting around talking about them.
While you are at the water-cooler talking about what you are going to do,
Others are outside doing amazing things…
Talk is cheap.
Dreams however, are not free.
You have to pay for your Dreams with:
– Time
– Effort
– Action
– Practice
– Sweat
– Discomfort
– Risk
– Money
– Fear
– Discipline
– Sacrifice
Yet, talk is not on the list.
Deeds Not Words
Stop the talking.
Start the doing.
Go outside, and do something today for your dreams.
Question: What do you need to DO for your dreams? What’s stopping you?
Talk is cheap! Must put feet to our dreams if they are to ever come true.
Love this post!
To accomplish my dreams I have stepped outside of the box, and is now doing things that make me a little uncomfortable, but that is the only way I will accomplish my dreams.
Plus, I take action steps to accomplishing my dreams daily. I have dreamt about it long enough, now I’m committed to accomplishing them.
My late father always used to say “Talk’s cheap, money buys whiskey” which is an archaic phrase for actions speak louder than words.
Interesting saying… had not heard that one before. 😉
Psychological research has shown that the most effective way to accomplish our goals is not to lift them up on a pedestal and use them as motivation. Instead, the best way is to use them as a carrot while understanding how hard the path will be. Picturing ourselves overcoming obstacles on the way is much better than just imagining what it will be like to arrive.
Great thoughts, Loren! Thanks for sharing.
Self-Discipline. It really all boils down to self-discipline and doing something every day. Habits build a life and it’s amazing to look back over your life so far and realize now much you accomplished almost on auto-pilot. Imagine what you could do channeling some of your drive CONSISTENTLY? It pays (literally) to chip away at goals consistently rather than furiously working 80-hour weeks until burnout.
