Thinking about doing
A conundrum of a title for a conundrum of a problem….how to get a dreamer to move to action. As a writer and musician, I have no problem with the dreaming and thinking part. I love that part: planning, thinking, creating things in my mind. The rub? The nitty gritty of actually doing everything, moving out of my mind and into real action. So I am hereby inspiring myself into motion this morning with a few good quotes on the subject.
-“Words may show a man’s wit but actions his meaning.” – Benjamin Franklin
-“Action speaks louder than words but not nearly as often.” – Mark Twain
-“It’s not what you’re dreaming, but what you’re gonna do.” – U2
-“Start where you are; use what you can.” – Persecution Project Foundation, www.persecutionproject.org (check it out; help the Nuba/South Sudanese people today!)
-“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” – James 2:17
Hmmm….I better get moving. Have a wonderful day! Slainte, Lisa
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Have a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you and those people who are important to you will have fun “wearing the green” and celebrating all things Irish! St. Patrick came back to Ireland out of love for the people there, so in his honor, let’s all show lots of love to each other today!
