Thoughts Plus Feelings Equal Action
“A decision is made with the brain. A commitment is made with the heart. Therefore, a commitment is much deeper and more binding than a decision. Commitment involves feeling as well as thinking. It is the result of a well-documented formula: thoughts plus feelings equal action. Everything you do has to be born in the brain as an idea. That idea gives birth to a feeling. You act on the basis of the feeling. Therefore, your actions turn your thoughts into reality once you have been motivated by your feelings. The deeper and more intense your feelings, the more powerful the motivation to turn thoughts into action. The thought creates a vision. The feeling makes the vision glow. Action brings the vision to life. What are you feeling today?” – Nido Qubein
