From Inspiration to Impact: Turning Ideas into Action

“Inspiration turns into impact because you have the courage to start something and the persistence to follow through.” – Tom and David Kelley.

Inspiration is a funny thing. We can be sitting on the couch watching television and feel inspired.

We can be in a pew at church and feel inspired.

We can read a book, see the sunrise, admire a colleague’s effort, and be inspired.

But the quote above captures it perfectly. Inspiration is just a warm feeling unless it gets you out of your chair, changes your direction, or propels you into action to make a difference.

A rich life is full of impact. As Henry Cloud says, we leave a wake behind us. One side of the wake is relationships, and the other is results.

Our impact is measured by the quality of our relationships and the results we achieve. So, what impact are you creating?
