You Are What You Do!

Too often, people say one thing and do another. I admit that I have often slid into this rut and thought about how I need to do something (lose weight for example) and then don't follow through and do anything about it (yes, I'm still 245 pounds). So even though I say that it's important to me to lose weight, I don't display the requisite motivation to follow through and do it, so my words are hollow.

What does this mean? This means people probably think I'm a hypocrite, and those people would be right. They also probably think that I'm normal, because many people say one thing and do something completely different.

One thing that is really important to me is to serve other people's needs. This is why I put together this newsletter, it's why I blog, and it's why I'm as involved in the community as I am. My hope is that people see that part of me more than they see the hypocrite, yet I realize this may not always be the case. Nonetheless, I realize that I am what I do, and allow myself to be judged accordingly.

So think about what you do, because that is really what you are, no more, no less.

Make it a great week. Do what you really want to be, and you will become the person you're capable of becoming.
