Thinking is different from action

Thinking about doing something is not the same as doing it.  For instance, thinking about stealing is not stealing, thinking about dishonesty is not same as lying. Though one can lead to the other but they are not the same.

Often people think about doing the right thing. The dwell on those thoughts and evaluate just the best way to do the right thing—but they never take action.

Life is all about logic. Logical expressions when reasoned and put in actions become fact.

If I repeat something often enough, it will become true in my mind. That's why some people who exaggerate and lie long enough begin to believe their own falsehoods as truth.

Consider these:
The actions of men are the best interpreters of their thoughts.

Thought is the blossom; language the bud; action the fruit behind it.

I count him braver who overcomes his desires than him who overcomes his enemies, for the hardest victory is victory over self.

Remember; out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks... Action follows!

We would rather be ruined than changed; we would rather die in our dread than climb the cross of the moment and let our illusion die.

All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy, for what we leave behind us is part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter into another.

Life does not compensate us for insight, understanding, wisdom or intention. It only rewards action. "You can't build a reputation on what you intend to do" it's so easy to get wrapped up in mind games and forget practical, daily living.

There has always been a battle between what we should be doing in life and what we actually end up doing. Have you ever experienced this- When you want to do what's right, you inevitably do what is wrong? That's exactly what I mean here, "thinking is different from action"
