Be aware of the big difference between inspired action and activity. Activity comes from the brain-mind and is rooted in disbelief and lack of faith - you are taking action to “make” your desire happen. Inspired action is allowing the law to work through you and to move you. Activity feels hard. Inspired action feels wonderful.

Rhonda Byrne

Rick Warren

Don't do what you sincerely don't want to do. Never confuse movement with action.

Ernest Hemingway

We confuse activity with progress, and that's always dangerous, especially in war.

H. R. McMaster

If you want your life to have impact, focus it! Stop dabbling. Stop trying to do it all. Do less. Prune away even good activities and do only that which matters most. Never confuse activity with productivity. You can be busy without a purpose, but what's the point?

Rick Warren

It's easy to confuse a lot of activity with a purposeful life. Do what lasts; let the rest fall away.

Bob Goff

Non-action is unceasing activity. The sage is characterized by eternal and intense activity. His stillness is like the apparent stillness of a fast rotating gyroscope.

Ramana Maharshi

In the state of emptiness, you are the action not the performer of the action. Allow an activity or event to take precedence over your own point of view.

Frederick Lenz

Oh, they never lie. They dissemble, evade, prevaricate, confound, confuse, distract, obscure, subtly misrepresent and willfully misunderstand with what often appears to be a positively gleeful relish and are generally perfectly capable of contriving to give one an utterly unambiguous impression of their future course of action while in fact intending to do exactly the opposite, but they never lie. Perish the thought.

Iain Banks

If there is any action that punishes imports to the North American market and encourages U.S. exports, you have to reflect it in a mirror action to counteract the change of incentives that this would make for activity and investment in Mexico.
