1/4/16-Action Speaks
Several years ago I was at a graduation party where I had 2 separate individuals ask me the same question..."how do you get your kids to volunteer so much." I was a bit puzzled, because I thought the answer was obvious..."because we do." Both parties sighed and in that moment I believed they realized our actions speak louder than our words...and their actions were a big piece in why volunteering wasn't a part of their kids lives.
What are your actions speaking to the world around you?
Do your actions speak humility or arrogance? Appreciation or entitlement? Thankfulness or dissatisfaction?
I realize my actions don't always speak what I would like them too; however, if I rise each morning doing my best I would expect more often than not my actions would speak volumes of good things!
Begin with action and leave good intentions behind...after all good intentions never changed anybody's world.
"Entitlement will disappear and be replaced with compassion when we choose to serve the world around us." DMM
"Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. " 1 Peter 3:8
