  • Your intentions don’t mean squat

    It’s taken me a while to recognize this truism. People don’t care what my intentions are, they only care about my actions.

    My intentions don’t mean squat.

    What matters is what I actually do.

    Sometimes I get this right.

    And sometimes I get this wrong.

    OK, most of the time I get this wrong.

    What that was is a defining moment. And the thing about defining moments is that you either define the moment or the moment defines you. – Roy McAvoy

    Whether I like it or not each day is filled with many defining moments. And in each of those moments I try to remember…  either define this moment with my actions or this moment defines me.
