Walk Your Talk........ One Step at a Time.......

A motivational piece

"If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves." Thomas Edison. Those are the words of a great man that once lived. A man who WALKED his TALKS, one step at a time.
Many of us are living our lives talking the talk but not walking the walk. We have a false believe that we can get credibility and people's respect through our words and not our actions. "Respect is not earned from what we say but from what we do"- Duane L.
A lot of things are much easier said than done. This describe the problem many people experience. We all have something in life that we would like to do: a dream we want to achieve, a goal we want to reach. However after talking, we never try to put the plans into action.

It is of utmost important that all that which we dream is not left undone. If you have a dream or plan that you want to bring to life, don’t procrastinate; don’t give up or put it off. If you do, it will end up being left by the wayside , forgotten.
Keep in mind that words are blown away with the wind. You can always say, over and over again, that you are going to start working on your goals or dreams to drive them towards actualization, but if you don't start, you will never see any result coming forth. Action is necessary if any dream is to yield result. "Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world." - Joel A. Barker

Having a preconceived notion that because a path is a difficult one it is not worth taking, makes starting an almost impossible task. But, if you can discard all doubts and take the first bold step you will definitely experience small successes throughout the journey that will give you satisfaction and motivate you to take the next. Standing there, staring into the distance, talking and hoping that everything will just happen is a futile effort because it just won't. “Act instead of asking. Sacrifice yourself without any hope of glory nor reward. If you want see miracles, make them yourself. Only in this way can you reach your own unique destiny.” -Ludwig van Beethoven
If you keep talking about your great ideas and projects without doing anything, be rest assured that you will never make a mistake, but will also never achieve success.

Definitely, when you decide to do something for the first time with little or no prior knowledge, a moment may come in which you start feeling dissapointed and maybe regrets. It will get to a stage that you will wish you never started it in the first place. However, the rewards of those who are brave to keep on walking are much greater than those who gave up. It is idleness that reap no rewards, and instead generate fear. To live always feeling trapped, fleeing from anything challenging or ambitious, does not lead to greatness, happiness, or a feeling of pride in your accomplishments.
“It is worth much more to act and risk regretting it, than to regret having done nothing at all.”- Giovanni Boccaccio

Finally, the regrets of not having taken action is much worse than having starting, done something and making mistakes. You will always know that at least you tried and did everything you could to reach your goal, your objectives and what you believe in.
Don’t remain frozen, don’t hesitate, before getting started. Don’t even allow yourself a day in which you only talk about your big ideas and take no action. This will only make you feel extremely frustrated and sad. Don’t let fear paralyze you and prevent you from enjoying life as much as possible.
Think; the opportunity is right in front of your own
