Why is it easier to say, than do?

Because as they say, talk is cheap. There’s little friction involved in talking.

While there’s truth to the phrase, easier said than done, just talking will not get you anywhere. You must learn to do.

But doing is difficult.

Doing requires commitment.

Doing requires belief and in some cases, suspending disbelief.

Doing requires you to overcome fear.

Doing requires you to risk failing.

Doing requires you to act.

Doing requires so much more than talking, and that’s why more people talk than do.

But doing does begin with talking. It begins with the words you say to the world or the self-talk in your mind.

Now I’ll grant you some leeway in that maybe you won’t do everything you say you’ll do because, after all, you are allowed to change your mind. But beware, it’s a slippery slope between the person that only says versus the person that does.

So, the next time you find yourself thinking, yes, thinking, because thinking is talking in your mind about something you want to do, you’ll need to decide whether you’re a talker or a doer. And know that while it is easier said than done, the only way to progress, to change, to grow, is by doing.
