You can have all good intentions but they don't mean anything. It's your actions that count. You may have not intended for something to happen, but if it did happen, then it will come with consequences despite your best intentions. Life is not about your intentions. It's about your actions. If you want them to … Continue reading Actions

Greatness
Greatness is a wonderful goal to aspire to. I believe that it isn't some end-goal destination. I believe greatness is achieved in your daily actions all along the journey of your life. Greatness can be found in your daily actions. Do you aspire to greatness? You can achieve it simply by doing what you do … Continue reading Greatness
Good Intentions
Good intentions are nice and all, but it's ultimately your actions that count. You could have intended to be this generous, kind and compassionate person, but if you did nothing to show it, then it doesn't matter. You may think that all you have to do is say the words "I'm sorry" and intend to … Continue reading Good Intentions
Habitual
Who we are ultimately comes down to our habits. What we habitually do and habitually think determines what our personality becomes. The good news about this, is that habits are formed by us, and if a habit isn't serving us, we can change it. We can change our habits by adopting new habits in their … Continue reading Habitual
Consistent
Whatever you're doing on a daily, consistent basis, is what determines what your life looks like. If you want to change your life, you can start by noting what your consistent daily actions are, and then change whichever action you no longer want to be a creative factor. Then add a new action to replace … Continue reading Consistent
Peace
We all want peace in the world. We want the freedom that comes from everyone getting along. In order for the outer world to have peace, we each need to cultivate peace within our own heart and mind. Peace begins within each of us. Our thoughts are more powerful than we realize. If we harbor … Continue reading Peace
Connected
We are all connected, because we simply share the same rotating planet. Our actions and behaviors affect others in a ripple effect that can eventually touch everyone else in some way. There's no escaping it. This connection can be wonderful, leading to amazing innovations that help propel us further along in our collective evolution. Or … Continue reading Connected
Good Deeds
Our actions tell the story of who we are. Actions speak louder than words. So, if you want to convey that you're a good person, it's simple, do good deeds. That alone should be incentive enough to want to make the highest available choice in how to act, every time. But, if that really isn't … Continue reading Good Deeds
Practice Makes Perfect
They say that hatred is a learned response. It comes from letting fear run your thoughts, and by practicing the feeling of hate. So, if that is the case, then love and kindness can be practiced just as well, so that they are our (re)-learned automatic responses. Our actions and our behavior come from what … Continue reading Practice Makes Perfect
Words
I love words. Obviously, I do, as I'm a writer. But words can be used deceptively. A person's actions speak so much more clearly about their character than the words they use. And their energy is actually much easier to read. People can try to spin a story with their words, but if you pay … Continue reading Words
How do you do?
I believe the phrase: The way you do anything is the way you do everything. It's all about your mindset. And it's very telling when you realize your own innate consistency. If you're kind and respectful to strangers, and people you may think have nothing to offer you, then it's natural for you to automatically … Continue reading How do you do?
Show, don’t tell
Actions speak louder than words. It's a true statement, but looks funny written out. After all, words are what we use to communicate. But they often fall short in telling an effective story. Isn't it a picture that's worth a thousand words? That can mean that a picture is an extremely valuable source of information, … Continue reading Show, don’t tell
