Shhh! Keep Calm And Do The Work

Remember the last time you got a brilliant idea, a thought, or a plan you want to work on? Then you get all excited and talk about that thing to your friends, family, or even on social media?

Don’t give too much hype to a dream, idea, or plan. Don’t talk too much about it.

It is your action that matters. If you are really excited about it, you should simply work on it rather than talking about it.

Once you have finished doing it, people can see the results. You can see the results for yourself.

The results should tell people about that idea/plan – not your talking!

Besides, if the plan doesn’t work out, or if you fail, you can keep it to yourself if you don’t talk about it beforehand.

Great Advice!!! Indeed, the excitement sometimes is not containable, and I wind up telling everyone what I am up to which also makes it harder to pivot when needed because you feel obligated to follow through on what has been vocalized. I will channel that excitement into the practice of doing it instead of talking about it.

That's a very good idea to take the action part, instead of running your mouth. work now and talk about it later and you won't feel like a fool, if it doesn't happen. Thanks for sharing!
