"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not - nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with great talent. Genius will not - unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not - the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination are omnipotent." -Calvin Coolidge
In choosing this theme of "actin' up" for 2014, I forgot one important thing: We're all not actors. If every single person on earth was a doer, our world would be an efficient place. Some of us are talkers/thinkers and that's not a bad thing - we need them too to balance our world.
And there are some people who switch between action and ideas, depending on the situation.
This week's action: Be honest with yourself. Figure out who you are - whether you're prone to action or ideas - and be comfortable with it.
Why we're doing it: The worst lies are the ones we tell ourselves. Plus, for the talkers/thinkers among us, it'll help you to be proud of who you are and figure out a way to embrace your strengths.
