Just A Flappin
The mute button on the television is a wonderful thing. If a politician comes on, you can hit the mute button and really not miss a thing as all they do is ramble about what they are “gonna” do yet very seldom put action behind their words. The lips are just a flappin in the breeze or as I like to say, “They have a whole lot to say about nothing.” Words without action are just a collection of letters. The value of your words comes from the action behind them.
Do you remember the statistic I wrote about a while back? The average person speaks 16,000 words a day. My first seven words of the day are “Thank you, who can I help today?” I wake up with the desire to put action behind my words. I want to help someone. I want to encourage someone. I want to make a difference in the world. I want to make someone think. I want to make someone laugh. I know. There are a lot of “I wants” in the previous sentences, but did you notice each occurrence of “I want” has some action associated: help, encourage, difference, think, and laugh? Rather than just say it, show it. Yes, it is indeed that easy.
