Nike struck gold when they picked this tag line, and there’s a reason for that: it’s really really good! Succinct, powerful, action- oriented, profound – in 3 words. Wow.
So that’s my recommendation to you today: Just Do It.
Do what? You ask.
Something that moves you toward a good outcome for all parties in a conflict or a negotiation you’re involved in, or in any relationship that matters to you.
I was reading Robin Sharma’s excellent book “The Greatness Guide” this morning and came across a great line of his: “The smallest action is worth more than the noblest intention.” Amen to that!
Talk is cheap; actions speak loudly.
In my work with clients we make a big deal about the distinction between your intent vs your impact, as follows:
WE JUDGE OURSELVES BY OUR INTENTIONS
OTHERS JUDGE US BY THE IMPACT OF OUR ACTIONS.
Never forget this.
I believe that while your intention IS important and DOES matter, what matters even more is the impact of your action.
So here’s my challenge to you:
Take a good step today.
DO something positive for someone.
Don’t just think about, don’t just talk about it,
