“Never confuse movement, with action” – Ernest Hemingway

Busy work is our mortal enemy.

“Movement” in the quote above refers to taking care of the pressing and loud items in our day. The emails. The text messages. The bills. Parts that need to be done eventually, but are *seemingly* far more urgent in the moment than they are in reality. For at the day’s end, as we climb into bed, the days that were consumed with such busy work leave us feeling the least fulfilled. We may find ourselves saying to ourselves, “What the hell did I do today?”

This is because shear movement does not push us towards our goals. Only action does. Action is premeditated effort, driven by purpose. It’s calculated energy, versus reactive motions. Swimming forward, versus treading water.

This quote urges us to recognize the difference between the two. As we review our recent days, where are we in motion, and where are we in action?

“Think like an immigrant. Act like an artisan.”

To “think like an immigrant” is to have a mindset where nothing is owed. There’s no legacy spot awaiting me. I’m not owed a job, a title bump, or a promotion. That no matter who or what I was yesterday, I’m brand new today. So I better plan to work harder than I ever have before to achieve my goals.

To “act like an artisan”, is to live a life of passion. In the middle-ages, before mass production, every pair of shoes, every saddle, tool and utensil were made by hand. All one-off productions. By a creator, called an artisan. Artisans took great pride in their work, and would carve their initials into each piece they created.

Regardless of what we’ve accomplished, nothing is owed to us. Yesterday is gone… and we’ll earn today. And in everything we do, let’s take so much care that we could proudly etch our name into the side of our work for the world to see. We are humble, we are hungry, and we are the hardest damn workers in the room.

Can you list 3 things you did yesterday that you are proud of?

“Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment, until it becomes a memory.” – Dr Suess

Words from a childrens’ book, but words that reach far beyond.

It’s easy to get caught up in “life”.

To be so focused on chasing our next goal. Hunting that next accomplishment.

Dr Suess gives us a grounding thought: to value the present. To appreciate the moments in front of us, despite how tempting it may be to look ahead. In today’s world, we’re moving faster than ever. Planning more than ever. Forecasting more than ever. But in all the plans that we could possibly dream up, regardless of how big and audacious they may be, do not create memories. Only today can.

Let’s recall a memory that makes you smile. Do you remember all the details of that day? What was the weather like? What were you wearing? Who was with you? These details, along with any others you can remember, were a result of being present.

Next time you are having a moment you know you are going to remember forever, try to soak in all the details to make that memory that much more sweet.

“You are what you do, not what you say you’ll do”. – C.G. Jung

With the advent of social media and reddit forums, talk is cheap. Sitting in the comfort of a chair, at home, many will talk. Few however, will actually do.

Spending our breath on words is wasted effort, and is always better spent on action. The only measurable difference between the armchair quarterback, and the actual quarterback.

“I can’t hear what you’re saying, because your actions speak so loudly.”

When was the last time you said you were going to do something, but didn’t actually follow through? What stopped you from taking action?
