“First tell yourself what kind of person you want to be, then do what you have to do. For in nearly every pursuit we see this to be the case. Those in athletic pursuit first choose the sport they want, and then do that work.”
- Epictetus, Discourses, 3.23.1-2a

No one has been more guilty of this than I. You can often hear someone says they want to be successful. Do you hear about the detailed plans for success? Do you witness the actions taken towards success?
Conclusion
Words alone can be empty. Words with a well-thought-out plan and actions that follow through on the plan... that is how success is achieved.
