Tricky Talk

“The mind mistakes the talking for the doing…Once you’ve told people of your intentions, it gives you a “premature sense of completeness.” -Derek Sivers

Whenever you’re tempted to talk about what you’re gonna do, don’t.

Instead, get to work and do it.

Talking about it with others sure is fun. And you’ll get almost all the same endorphins you would from completing it. Talk is tricky that way.

But years later, you’ll still be talking about it.

Wishing and wondering why you never did it.

P.S. – This short excerpt from Derek Sivers TED Talk says it all.
