“Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.” - Joel Baker


Actor Matthew McConaughey said, “In 1992, I wrote down a list of 10 things I wanted out of myself and life that I did not have at the time. I never looked at the list again; I thought I lost it until I found it just a few years ago. When I read the list, I said, ‘Son of a gun, Matthew, you’ve actually achieved all of those things that you wrote down.’


Too many people have never taken the time to sit down and think about what they want to do, who they want to be, and what they want to achieve.


Have a vision, write down your goals, then take action.


Author Joel Baker once said, “Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.”


After you write down the list of things that you want to accomplish, think about two things: Which goal do you want to start with, and what are 1 or 2 keystone habits that can have the biggest impact? 


A keystone habit is a small change that can have a big impact on many different parts of your life.


A keystone habit, like working out every morning, reading or listening to a podcast, journaling, or practicing mindfulness can impact several or all of our your goals.


Have a vision, make a plan, and stay disciplined with the plan.


Questions of the Day: What are 10 things you would like to accomplish, and what is one keystone habit that can help with several of those goals?
