"What translates a desire into action?"- a question I often pose to myself
I am reading an old book called The Road Less Traveled by M. Scott Peck M.D. In it he offers the following statements:
"Desire is not necessarily translated into action. Will is desire of sufficient intensity that it is translated into action.
The difference between the two is equal to the difference between saying:
'I would like to go swimming tonight' and 'I will go swimming tonight'"
I believe that word choices often determine whether we will do something or just wish we will do something.
Today's question is:
"What words do you use to turn desires into action?"
