This past weekend Jarrod and I found ourselves talking about the difference between intentions vs actions. It started Friday night, we had company, Deanna was excited to share all her history books (12) and when our friend asked the question, “how many have you actually read,” she replied “4, but they are all great books.” Our friend’s face went from very impressed to show me more action.
Taking it a step further, we talked on Saturday about eating green and ensuring we are exercising. We have these amazing intentions about all we are going to do to get fit and feel good but our actions are halfway there, as I pour wine at dinner or we put out dessert for no occasion.
Come Sunday night, reflecting on the day, I found myself asking the question, did my intentions mirror my actions. If not, what do I need to do Monday to ensure they are in sync?
I know I am not alone. It is a simple concept. Sometimes we just need to be reminded.
