Action - from planning to action.

From planning to action !
From words to action - Action speaks louder than words !

In todays world we are spending a lot of time planning - instead of having focus on acting.

We also have leaders that utters many fine words, but most of them are never realized.

So we need much more focus on action rather than just doing the planning and talking the words.

Some people think, that if they just plan enough - go into more and more detail, and the plans will tell the future. - But it is my experience, that plans doesn't work. - Life is much too complicated, and most plans are thrown just the next day, because reality simply went another way - new tasks comes in, and plans has to be reevaluated and adjusted - What happend to action - did we have time to act, when we were busy making plans...

I'm not saying, that we then shouldn't try to get some kind of order of of the chaos that we live in - but rather I'm saying, that planning can only go so far - in broad terms, were would we like to go - and then: action.

The same goes for all the fine word that are said from management - great - but now we need to see you act - and fullfill all those nice words, strategies, visions, dreams, so: action - because action speaks louder than words.

And in my own life, I'm getting there - Less planning, Less fantasies that I wish I would outlive - For me it's more action !

Don't just talk the talk - walk the walk instead.
