Actions Reveal Values

You might say you want to write a book, start a business, or get a promotion. But what do your actions say?

In Actions, Not Words, Reveal Your Values, Derek Sivers writes:

“No matter what you tell the world or tell yourself, your actions reveal your real values.”

Ouch. But also… helpful.

(There’s a reason Derek is one of my favourite writers and thinkers.)

If your actions don’t align with what you say you want, you have two choices:

  1. Be honest about your real priorities.

  2. Start taking action and see if you really want what you think you do.

Which will it be?
