Postcard #1: What matters most—action or results?
No doubt, results put food on the table.
Yet, when I focus on results, I get:
Paralysed—If nothing ‘counts’ unless it gets results, I spend more time trying to predict outcomes and less time doing and learning in the process.
Disheartened—Results can take time.
Disempowered—I cannot directly control results. I can strategise and I can execute, but some days I won’t get the result (and some days I will).
I’m practising action. Focusing on process.
Action is what I can control.
Consistent action = momentum = self-belief = motivation.
Persistent action will yield results, one way or another, even if the result is simply better intelligence for the next action.
Most importantly: I Am More than any action or result.
