It’s said that we are what we continually think, and there’s some truth to that statement, but I would also add that we are what we continually do.
If someone calls themselves a coach, but they don’t actually develop anyone, are they really a coach?
If someone calls themselves a leader, but they have no influence and when they look over their shoulder there’s no-one following, are they really a leader?
- Coaches coach.
- Leaders lead.
- Writers write.
- Artists make art.
- Innovators innovate.
- Motivators motivate.
On the other hand:
- Procrastinators procrastinate.
- Complainers complain.
- Followers follow.
- Cowards cower.
- Robots do the same thing over and over again as if that’s all they’ve been programmed to do.
Whatever you find yourself doing regularly, that’s what you are.
And if you’re not happy with your current circumstances or title, change the verb.

I love your blog. I am making huge changes in my life right now. Have put in notice at my job of 15 years and taking a sort of sabbatical summer to get some new perspective on life. Your blog of Only Action is Action was one of the primary motivators that spurred me into ACTION rather than just THINKING or TALKING ABOUT making this brave and terrifying step.
Thanks for your insights and straight shooting blogs!! Naomi Dvorachek
