Last night, I came up with what seemed like the perfect way to handle a challenging conversation with one of my team members. I had anticipated every possible scenario and felt fully prepared. But as soon as I considered putting it into action, I began to see numerous complications I hadn’t anticipated.
That is when I realized converting thoughts even if it seems a very good idea to action is not easy. Moreover, imagine converting most of your thoughts to action what it will lead to?
The barrier is reality, and that’s where knowledge and wisdom kick in. When you think of doing something, even though it’s possible, it has to be vetted with your knowledge and experience. And also requires a lot of courage.
So, if it feels hard to move from thought to action, that’s because it is hard! And it should be—good ideas deserve careful planning and due diligence. The thoughts that survive this process are the ones worth acting on, and they’ll lead to real, meaningful progress, one smart decision at a time.
