Actions Reveal Values
You might say you want to write a book, start a business, or get a promotion. But what do your actions say?
In Actions, Not Words, Reveal Your Values, Derek Sivers writes:
“No matter what you tell the world or tell yourself, your actions reveal your real values.”
Ouch. But also… helpful.
(There’s a reason Derek is one of my favourite writers and thinkers.)
If your actions don’t align with what you say you want, you have two choices:
1. Be honest about your real priorities.
2. Start taking action and see if you really want what you think you do.
Which will it be?
