Talk is cheap

"You are going to come across people in your life who will say all the right words at all the right times. But in the end, it's always their actions you should judge them by. It's actions, not words that matter."

When I think back to all the major events that have shaped my life I realize many things. The most important is that all those major events are all actions, not words people say. I remember events not conversations or words. What people do effects me significantly more than what people say. Don't get me wrong, words can sting for a short time. But, actions can leave scars.

When you are going through a hard time or pivotal time in your life, everyone around you has something to say. 99% of that is constructive. But, for me it's not what people say that matters. It's their actions. Don't tell me you love me, show me. I strive to do that myself. Of course I use my words, but I want my actions and words to match up.

I encourage you to watch what you say. Do you really mean what you say? I challenge myself at this as well.

Happy hump day!
