Do you agree or disagree?

I can hear your brain spinning and asking, ‘Well, it depends on the question?’

Does it?

What if there is no obvious question, just an opportunity to act?

You see, every action you take is an agreement or disagreement with the kind of person you want to be.

If you doubt me, then let me give you an example.

There are many hot topics we can choose from, but let’s make it easy and choose politics.

How many times have you heard a person strongly disagree with government policies? Yet when you ask them what action they’ve taken to change them, you’ll quickly find that they haven’t acted. 

Why is this?

Because it’s easier to talk about than to do.

When your actions are out of alignment with your thoughts, you will feel out of balance because you’re in disagreement with yourself. There’s actually a fancy term for this kind of behavior: cognitive dissonance, which literally means mental discomfort.

Narrowing the gap between how you think and act gives you a sense of harmony because you are being true to yourself. You are in agreement.

But this doesn’t mean that you’re limited to always thinking and acting the same way. You can choose to think differently about something, but you must follow it with action because that is how you’ll agree or become aligned with your new thought.

So, the next time you have a thought or idea about how you’d like to be, do something differently or change a current behavior – enforce and validate it with an action. Close the gap between the person you want to be and the person you are. Be in agreement with the person you want be.
