Words carry a lot of weight in this world, but it is through our
actions that we bring things into being. Words carry a lot of weight in this
world, from how we say them to what we say with them, but it is through our
actions that we bring things into being. This is what we mean when we say to
one another that actions speak louder than words. In many cases, what we say
doesn’t necessarily line up with what we are doing, and it is here that it
becomes clear that it’s easier to talk about doing something than it is to
actually do something. At the same time, it’s easy to keep doing something
that we don’t necessarily acknowledge ourselves doing verbally. It’s good for
all of us to take a look every once and a while to make sure there is
alignment between what we say and what we do. For example, it’s easy to talk about our
dreams, but it takes a lot more energy to take the many small steps that lead
to bringing our dreams into reality. If all we ever do is talk about it, we
begin to lose faith in ourselves because nothing changes on the external
level. In this way, being all talk and no action is actually a form of self-sabotage.
It’s also useful to examine our actions to see if, through them, we are
following through on our words. For example, in expressing concern about the
environment, we can look to make sure that we are taking the simple steps we
can take to put that concern into action. It’s always helpful to observe what we
talk about and who we say we are, and then to observe what we actually do in
the world. Sometimes we realize our actions haven’t caught up with what we
are saying, and at other times we see that we might change our words in a way
that it will more adequately reflect what we do in the world. Either way, the
more we align our words and our deeds, the clearer we are in expressing our
truth in the world, and the more powerful we are in bringing it into
reality.. |
