Good morning and welcome to the Increase Your Impact podcast. I'm Justin Sua. This is episode

1,721. I read a quote the other day. It's by Noah Lomax. And this is how the quote goes.

The greatest of intentions pale in comparison to the smallest actions. Close quote. The greatest intentions pale in

comparison to the smallest actions. Well done is better, better than well said. You can claim what you're going to accomplish. You can claim what you're

going to do. You can claim and talk about the action you're going to take. But what that has in

common is you haven't done anything yet. It's easy to talk the talk. It's easy to say you're going to do

something. Say you're going to change. Say you're going to achieve something. But as this quote by Noah Lomack says, it doesn't matter what

you say. All that matters is what you do. And so today, my invitation is to take a look at your words.

Do your words align with your actions?

Does what you say you're going to do actually align with what you do?

And if that's the case, if so, then wonderful, then great.

If not, then either A, stop talking, stop making these claims of things you're going to do,

or B, take action, show it. No more talking to talk, no more saying what you're going to do.

It's all about taking action and actually doing it. Reminds me of a story. One of my most

favorite memories in my marriage was for the longest time I would tell my wife, I'm going to be a

mental skills coach. I'm going to be a mental skills coach. I'm going to work with the best

athletes in the world. I would say that for years, for years. And one night before we were going to bed I was talking about my dreams of being

an elite mental performance coach working with some of the best athletes in the world

and my wife said you're all talk and she turns light off and I remember thinking to myself okay she's joking she's

usually very supportive very just encouraging but that night she said you're all talking I turned

the lights back on I said wait are you joking she goes no I'm not joking you've been saying this for

years that you're going to do
