WALK THE TALK

“Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty!” – Proverbs 14 vs 23

Everywhere you go, you hear people talking about what they’d do – what they intend to do; plan to do or wish to have done. But how many people get to do those things they plan? How many plans come to fruition?
Not much!
Here’s why:
Yes,
It’s easy to talk.
Everyone can talk.
But beyond the talk, you must work else you’d only be making noise.
This is why I usually say:
‘One action is better than a thousand intentions.’
The question now is: how do you match your talk with work? How do you walk the talk?

When it comes to achieving what you set your mind on, there’s nothing that beats action.

Literally, do it.
Don’t waste time trying to figure anything out.
Set out to do it and get it done.

As usual, the Bible is on hand to clear your doubts and lead you right. You get to walk the talk by:

 
1. Guarding your heart and mind (Proverbs 4 vs 23): You’re a function of your thoughts. If you think of acting, you’ll act. Think, act, do, repeat!

 
2. Get renewed (Romans 12 vs 1-2): Renew your thought line and conform to the standards of Christ. This transforms your thoughts and transformational thinking births revolutionary action.

 
3. Work (Proverbs 14 vs 23): To walk the talk, literally work. Just do it. Nothing else works. This is your best way to goal achievement. Take it!

 

Ending Notes

 
I’d still like to draw your attention to taking action. Just do it.
How else do I wrap this up but by quoting famous American founding father Benjamin Franklin who says:

“Well done is better than well said.”

Now go, walk your talk and get it done!

You Can Do It!

Everyday we meet people who are doing great things, attaining new heights and climbing new stages of ages.

How do they do it? You are tempted to ask. 

The short answer is yes, you can!. 

There’s absolutely nothing you can’t do. 

Here’s why:

1. You’re Special:

You and I and everyone else is a unique blend of awesomeness. We have unique experiences. A unique voice. A unique mix of ideas, examples, and stories. Sadly, most people don’t recognise their uniqueness. 

This reminds me of something I saw some weeks ago when I was surfing through my Facebook news feed. It was a post that read:

“We all need constant reminders of our ingenuity in order to dig up our potential.”

And that was it. I was totally lit up after reminiscing on some great moments. Indeed we all are special and that’s what helps us deal with life’s problems in our unique ways. 

2. Life challenges everyone

Life’s full of challenges. Ups and downs. Hills and valleys. Pits and peaks. 

Unique as they may seem, these challenges are common to all. Everyone faces one situation or the other. 

But beyond these challenges you must travel everyday. You must burrow your way out of these pits in order to make it to the peak. 

This fact helps us adjust to life easily knowing that we are not the only ones going through bumps. 

Ending Notes

Bear this in mind: 

Although times are hard and the roads you tread are rough, you can still succeed. 

It’s a function of your thought line. 

Henry Ford says it best:

“Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t…you’re right.” –   Henry Ford

So go, think possibility. 

Embrace your quirks. Be bold. Be YOU.

You can do it. Yes, you can!
