Movement Brings Clarity

I have been toying with what I am calling a "Mark Maxim" on leadership and life.  It is called "Motion/Movement Brings Clarity".  The idea behind it...one that I will be developing more and more in the future is that at times you won't or don't know if you don't start!  At times we sit and wait till we have all the information and then start...at that time it's too late.

I was tossing this idea around in my head again today, all the while wondering what the "squeaking" noise was that was coming from my daughter's room.  It was "Hammy" our daughter's hamster spinning on his exercise wheel.  As much as Hammy is just going in circles...atleast he does more than some of us do with our ideas.  I just posted a quote on my blog recently that said:

"An idealist believes that the short run doesn't count. A cynic believes the long run doesn't matter. A realist believes that what is done or undone in the short run determines the long run.

We must do something!  We can't just sit there.  Now I am not proposing movement for the sake of movement....however the alternative to me is much worse.  Just sitting where we are without doing something.

I think of the Old Testament story of the Lepars who realized if they sat there they would die...if they acted they may die...however...what would happen if they acted and were successful. 

Just some random ponderings...come back as I develop this idea more and more! 

Any thoughts?  Please respond!
