Don't Blog About It... Be About It.

Proverbs 20:11 says, "Even a child is known by his doings..."

Do you think that it is any different for you?

You are known by what you do. Period.

Not by what you think... Not so much by what you say... Those things lead to what you do, but unless you actually do something, your thoughts and words are just so many clouds that promised, but didn't deliver rain.

So... Close the laptop... Put the phone away... Get (further) out there and do something.

Something you've always dreamed of... Something you wanted to do before summer... Something you promised your child, or your dying loved-one you would do...

Whatever it is, take a page from the 'book of nike' and just

Who's In...

People invite you into their life based on who they are, not based on who you are. Actually, they don't know who you are and may never know who you are. Getting to know someone takes patience, time, and understanding. Getting to know yourself takes patience, time, and understanding.

Do you know who you are? Do you know why you have invited the people who are in your life, into your life?

Remember, the people in your life are more of a reflection of who you are than who they are.

Decisions... Decisions...

The best thing you can do for your son is to teach him to make a "good" (wise) decision. Part of doing this is making the choice and sticking with it, seeing it through to completion/fruition.

The worst thing you can do to a man (one of the worst things you can do to a man is to decide for him, without consulting him. You run the risk of losing whatever connection, real or imagined, that you have with him.
