#action

I am a planner.

I love making a plan  - I enjoy creating a vision of an ideal outcome, and then considering all of the necessary components for reaching said outcome.

I find it pleasing to strategize, satisfying to ponder.

I like hammering out logistics, thinking through eventualities, factoring in best practices and creating a clear way to Get. It. Done.

I also find comfort in having a plan in place, in knowing there’s an intentional path at the ready, specifically designed to lead me directly to my desired result.

I like how plans can unite people, allowing them to rally around a common cause or work together towards a common goal.

I use plans to wring excess worry out of a situation and create a buffer around the anxiety of having to navigate brand new or historically uncomfortable circumstances.   

But here’s the thing about plans - they are truly only valuable when they inspire actual and consistent #action.

You can have a million plans in place, but if you’re not DOING anything with them, they’re not going to get you very far, amirite?!

So yes, plans are my friend, and I have lots of big ones, but lately I’ve been focusing my energy on what #action I can take to turn my plans into reality.

#Action is where it’s at; #action is what separates the superstars from the rest.

It’s been said that vision without #action is merely daydreaming, but vision WITH #action can change the world.

So while having a plan can be helpful, turning that plan into #action is always where the REAL magic happens.

This week, I invite you to join me in looking for ways to take #action on our good ideas and our best laid plans.

​I just know there is magic out there that is ours for the taking. :)
