And Action!

I’ve spoken about action before. How actions speak louder than words.

The truth is… action is a sexy lil’ beast.

Seriously. Action is HAWT.

Example 1: kid is getting bullied. Someone walks in and stops it. Sticks up for the kid. Action.

Example 2: Old lady struggling to open door. You run over and help her open the door. Action.

Example 3: The city is being attacked by the Joker. Batman flies in. Action.

I’ve said this time and time again to everyone I know… I’m all about the action. I need to see something happen in order for me to believe it; with humans, anyway. (Aliens, Santa Claus, spirituality, and energy can get away without me seeing it).

Seriously, is action not the sexiest thing a human- especially a dude- can do? Hopefully it is the right action- or then it’s a little disturbing. Taking action to make something happen. Moving mountains. Getting the girl. Saving the animal. Whatever it is, it does.

You see politicians talk all the time. The ones who get things done? Are remembered. Action.

“Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you.”
– Thomas Jefferson

“Action is the foundational key to all success.” – Pablo Picasso

“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.”    – Norman Vincent Peale

“Action is the real measure of intelligence.” – Napoleon Hill

“Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” – Dale Carnegie

“Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.”
–Theodore Roosevelt

“An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The time for action is now. It’s never too late to do something.”
– Antoine de Saint-Exupery

“Action is character.”
-F. Scott Fitzgerald

“All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action. ” –James Russell Lowell

“Never confuse movement with action.”
-Ernest Hemingway

And my favorite:

“Action expresses priorities.”
– Mahatma Gandhi
