Motivational Power Quote

 

Intentions + Action = Success

“You cannot change anything in your life with intention alone,

which can become a watered-down,

occasional hope that you’ll get to tomorrow.

Intention with action is unless.”

Caroline Myss, author

  

As I see it . . . . . . .

Intentions + Action = Success 

An intention gets our mind working and gets us thinking about possibilities. But intentions without action can become a distracter and leads us down the path to nowhere.  

Also carrying a fulfilled intention around with us without taking actions becomes excess baggage that weights us down and slows our progress.

Intentions alone will not move us closer to achieve our goals and can very likely create reverse momentum and move further away from achieving our goals and success.

Intentions + actions will start our engine and get us moving. Point the engine in the right directions and it will move us in the direction of achieving success.

Intentions + Action + Success

An intention with a plan becomes a goal. When we have the intention and put a plan into action we create a greater opportunity for success.

The intensity of your intentions combined with intensity in your action will move you forward in the direction of achieving greater success.  

An intention starts as a dream or a hope, when you take action on your intention you create the formula for success. Intentions + Action = Success.

Good reminder, Lou.  We need to review our business actions to determine if there is "intention" within those actions to generate leads, follow-ups, and referrals.  It does help provide a "target" to those tasks.  Not all actions are done with the intent that generates the positive business we desire.

Good morning Lou...another great inspiration and motivation and oh so true.  Intention withour action is really a daydream.  You have inspired me to move from intention and put into action some of my dreams.  Have an incredible Sunday!

The same thought has been framed in many ways with different words. This may be the simplest and thus most effective I have read. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy the day!

My old baseball coach used to say that a good catch is not enough -- you need to couple it with a good throw.  Things often go hand in hand and 'intention and action' is much the same.  One without the other will leave you short of the mark!

This is spot on, we can have goals but if you do not take steps to reach those goals you will never get there.

Lou,

If it only took intention, I'd be in much better shape now ;-)

Good evening Lou!

Thank you for another great quote.

This one is a great reminder that we need intention first to work towards success.
