"In life, the direction that you are headed in is way more important than the speed you are moving.” - Mel Robbins
Are you a thinker or a doer?
Thinkers love thinking, planning, and dreaming, while doers love taking those thoughts, plans, and dreams and converting them into actions. You can’t just think your way to success; you have to get out of your head and get to work. You have to have goals and plans, but goals and plans without deadlines and consistent actions are just dreams and fantasies.
Doers without plans are often busy doing a lot of things but aren’t going anywhere and aren’t being productive. Doers without plans are often the ones who say they are always busy, overwhelmed, overworked, and eventually burn out or flame out when they don’t have to. Because they are too busy doing things without plans, they often end up doing too much just so they can say they are busy.
We aren’t meant to be busy; we are meant to be productive.
Be a thinker AND a doer. Decide what you want to do, how, and why … then do it.
10 time NCAA Championship basketball coach John Wooden once said, “Never mistake activity for achievement.” Too many people do stuff just to do it or to say they are busy, and their activity doesn’t lead to anything real or productive.
Author and podcaster Mel Robbins says, “In life, the direction that you are headed in is way more important than the speed you are moving.”
We have to be able to both think strategically and take consistent action.
