Anyone can talk a good talk but the proof of what we believe is not in what we say but in what we do. There is a difference between thinking you should do something and doing it. A good idea is just a good idea until it is acted upon. I have a lot of great thoughts and I would like to do a lot of things, but the greatest challenge I have is turning my thoughts into actions. The engine in a car may be running, and you may rev the motor and raise the rpms, but the car will not move until you release the brakes and put it in drive.
Though we are approaching a time when computers will do both for us, for now, cars need drivers and thoughts need thinkers. An unused car will eventually become unusable, unused muscles will weaken and atrophy, and unused minds will diminish. If you woke up this morning, regardless of the state of your body or mind, you have an opportunity to use what you have left.
Our bodies are our vehicles and our minds are our computers. Unless, we have let someone else get behind the wheel, we are in the driver’s seat. Unless we have let someone else get in our heads, we are the computer operators. These great ideas we have will die unless we drive them into reality. We have thought-the-thoughts and talked-the-talk, it’s time to discipline our great minds and bodies to walk-the-walk. We can think good thoughts, speak good words, and move in good directions, but success is the found in the destination. A daily destination will bring about daily success and the proof is always in the pudding!
