The proof is in the "do"

What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.  Ralph Waldo Emerson

People, actions do speak louder than words.  They mean more too.  Words can be empty and meaningless when action does not prove them true.  Telling someone you love them but physically and/or verbally punching them doesn't really match up does it?  Do *you* really think they are going to believe your empty sentiment?  We are just making a bunch of noise with our words if actions don't come behind them to prove them.  Our actions do most of our speaking for us.  You may not like it but it's true.  Our words should be what reinforces our actions because our actions carry more volume in our lives.  Talk all you want but just make sure your words will be proven true with your actions, for that is what people are actually listening to and hearing.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
