just don’t match.”
Someone walks past your cubicle. You frantically click your mouse and mash
on the keyboard, feigning busyness for the unsuspecting intruder. “Whew,
that was close!”
Look at the clock again. 11:13. Another half an hour wasted. “I should really
get to work... right after I...”
Is any of this sounding familiar? Maybe you don’t work in an office, but you
can still relate to that feeling of dread that hits when you’re faced with
something you’ve been resisting. Like you’d rather do anything than the task
at hand. That, “to-do”, list quickly becomes a “don’t-wanna-do” list.
Even if you’re married or already in a relationship you might also identify
with those feelings of undesirability. When your thoughts about your
situation have become more consuming and debilitating than everything else.
When you have become so distracted from what your relationship is
supposed to be about, so embroiled in the should/shouldn’ts, could/couldn’ts
and who’s right or wrong you often wonder why the hell you’re still in it at
all.
The truth is, we all do this from time to time. Even the most driven, most
successful, and wisest among us have these kinds of thoughts.
So what is it that separates those successful people from you and me? They
understand (consciously or otherwise) one simple thing: What they think and
what they do don’t always have to align.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR THOUGHTS
You are not your thoughts. You are not defined by what’s inside your head.
You are what you do. Your actions.
“Great thoughts speak only to the thoughtful mind,
but great actions speak to all mankind”
- Theodore Roosevelt
