The Difference Between Intention and Action



Five frogs sat on a log. One decided to jump off.

How many were left? Most people would say four.

The answer… Five. Why?

Because even though the frog decided to jump off, it might not have.

Intention is not an Action. Intention and Action are not even in the same arena. Actions are measurable and intentions are not. And there is a big difference between the two.

For example if a person has an intention of losing weight and getting healthier, yet does nothing to make it happen. Will it happen? Probably not! But if a person takes action and starts getting exercise every day and making good food choices. Eventually if they keep on track they will accomplish their goals of better health.

Look at your goals in life. What are your health, family or financial goals? Are you taking action to make your life goals a reality or are they just dreams with no follow through? You only have one life, go ahead and make it an amazing one.
