What you do changes the trajectory of your life — not what you think.

Don’t get me wrong; smart thinking influences our actions more than we think. But to make real change that gets you close to what you want, you have to take become a doer.

Aristotle was right, “For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them.”

The only way to close the gap between where you are now and what you want for your future self is by taking the right action consistently.

Choosing to take action is a choice that comes with responsibility, sacrifice and a lot of grit. Nobody can practically push to do anything more than yourself.

Instead of convincing yourself that you can’t do something, say yes to the right opportunities, habits, routines and behaviours that guarantee real progress or a much better life.

Yes to create more. Yes to exercising more. Yes to reading better books. Yes to lifelong learning. Yes to embracing your best self every day.

The most successful people are doers. They learn and take action at the same time. Warren Buffetts reads a lot. But he also invests a lot of money.
