Action

I'd like to go into my weekend leaving you something to think about. A rittle! Or a little more than that. Anyways, it was a great week, I hope you all are doing fine and ... I'll be back! [hehehe ... no threat, a promise! :o)]

Five birds are sitting on a telephone wire. Two decide to fly south. How many are left? Most people would say three. 

Actually, all five are left. 

You see, deciding to fly isn't the same as doing it.

If a bird really wants to go somewhere, it's got to point itself in the right direction, jump off the wire, flap its wings, and keep flapping until it gets there.

So it is with most things. Good intentions aren't enough. It's not what we want, say, or think that makes things happen; it's what we do.

I frequently think of writing thank-you, birthday, and congratulatory notes. Unfortunately, only a sad few of these good sentiments ever make it to paper. Still, if I don't look too closely, I can delude myself into thinking that based on my good thoughts I'm a gracious and grateful person. 

A truer and less admirable picture of my character is drawn by my actions.

In the end, we either do or don't do. We either make the time to do the things we want to and should do or we make excuses. 

As Alfred Adler said, 

"Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement."
