Light My Fire

The Grasshopper showed his green thumb one day when planted this seed: “You can take all the gardening classes you want, but until you plant something, nothing will grow.”

It reminded me of one of my favorite ancient Chinese sayings: “Talk doesn’t cook rice.”

We learned about action verbs in elementary school, but it seems we all could use a booster shot when it comes to actually taking action.

Inertia is not patience. Inertia lacks action; patience is waiting for our action to take root.

How do we light a fire when there's no kindling wood? I believe imagination is the answer.

You can either imagine what would happen if you don’t take action or what would happen if you do.

You will either be spurred to action to avoid the downside or drawn to the upside by activating your ability to imagine.

People either move towards something or move away from something. You can find your preference by engaging your imagination and envisioning both options. The one that feels right for you is the kindling to use to light your fire.

Moving towards or moving away, which strategy will get you to take action today?

All the best,

John
