Action – Meaning

Never confuse movement with action.

— Ernest Hemingway —

  Reflect on this one.  Do you spend most of your day in movement or in action? Action has a purpose behind it and is moving you in the direction of your goals. P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com Proverbs 14:23 (NIV)  “All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.”
