Small actions taken are better than large planned actions

Look at the CEOs of large companies or business executives who travel the world looking to expand their businesses. There are many inventors who have achieved almost “impossible” inventions. All these people decided to speak with facts and not with words. They know that small actions taken are better than large actions planned.

They had a spark in their brain to get on with something they loved to do, and they didn’t wait for anyone to kick them off. They believed that the results count for the perfection of the action performed and not for the beauty of the words spoken.

Take anyone you consider successful. You can see that they all have this important habit in common: they prefer to do a good job rather than just talk about it. I see a reflection of this habit in almost every great person I have read about. I’m sure my readers would compete with me.

I was recently reading a book called Unstoppable by Cynthia Kersey. It is a compilation of short stories about 45 people who went ahead to achieve their passions in life despite the difficulties they had to face. One of the most important characteristics that they showed was that they were people who spoke with actions and not with words.

just think for a moment. How many of us have the habit of saying “I’ll do that”, “I’ll do this”, but then we end up doing nothing. We all have many ideas and dreams. But how many of them become reality? Ideas come and go, but we remain the same. An idea or a million ideas that are never submitted is worth $0. We also like to exaggerate.

When we explain something we’re doing, we say it like we’re doing a great job and end up saying “I’m doing this”, “I’m doing that”, “I’ve completed that”, “I’ve completed this”. , and the list goes on, but the truth is that we may not have even started the task. There are many reasons why our actions and words do not agree with each other. Here are some of them:

(1) Loving praise: We always like someone to praise us. If someone says something nice about us, we tend to feel very happy. This is a fact that cannot be denied.

When we crave more praise, we try to tell everyone that we will do such and such, but since we don’t have the

Enough motivation to make it happen, those words never turn into actions.

(2) Procrastination and laziness:

Sometimes we really want to do things, but we tend to put them off. In the morning, we decided to do it in the afternoon. In the afternoon, we decided to do it at night. And in the evening, we have enough work that we decide to do it the next day.

The next day usually never comes. Why wait for tomorrow when you can do it today?

(3) Weak Passion: We may want to do many things, but the passion in us is not strong enough to make it happen. When we talk about it, we are very passionate. But we lost that passion when the time comes to make it happen.

(4) Saying YES when you should be saying NO: We may have enough on our plate and know we don’t have time to do more. But when we get a request for help, or a request to volunteer for something, we say yes. This adds to the pile of tasks we have to complete and we end up being unable to meet our other commitments.

In a world where words are thrown around haphazardly, it seems much more sensible for all of us to put our energy into actions, rather than promises.

True innovators don’t just talk about doing things, they go out and do them. They know that small actions taken are better than large actions planned.
