Beyond Words: How Actions Truly Feed Our Hunger for Reality
You know, there's this interesting thing about actions and words. It's like comparing a gourmet meal to a beautifully written menu. The menu sounds fantastic with all those flowery descriptions, but the meal satisfies your hunger. Isn't?
Think about it. We've all been in situations where promises and grand statements are thrown around like confetti at a New Year's Eve party. But when the confetti settles, what sticks? The actions taken, not the words that were fluttering around.
For instance, imagine we're planning a big event. There's this one person who's always saying, "I'll do this; I'll do that," painting a picture of a grand, flawless execution. But then another person quietly gets things done with no fanfare. When the event rolls around, who do you think shines? The doer, not the talker.
This doesn't mean words don't have power. They do. But they're like the appetizer, not the main course. They set the stage and create the mood, but the actions deliver the experience.
In the world of promises, we often see a parade of 'could be's and 'would be's. But in the end, what has been done matters. It's like going on a hike. We can talk about the beauty of the trail and discuss the flora and fauna, but until you put on your boots and walk the path, it's all...well, talk.
And let's remember the impact of actions on trust. Words can build expectations, but actions build trust. It's like when someone says they'll always be there for you. Nice to hear, right? But the times they show up when you need them that cement that trust.
Actions are the lead actors, while words are the supporting cast. Sure, the supporting cast adds depth and context, but the lead actors bring home the Oscars.
So, while words can be inspiring, motivating, and comforting, the actions write the story. That's my belief. They're the proof of the pudding, the walk that follows the talk; you get the idea!

Walkers or talkers I call them.
With many years in the maintenance industry there are those managers that always NEED to find someone to blame for a machine failure, who touched it last. And there are those managers hat are dead straight, it's broke, can you fix it. I know which I always preferred to work with.

Blaming is toxic... Thank you, I appreciate your feedback.
What a fantastic three words.
Blaming is toxic.
I'm going to use that on someone I know that blames everybody else.
I'll probably end up with 15 stitches on the other side of my face.
Such a simple expression and so true.
Thanks

I would instead stop acknowledging them.
Next, you'll be blamed, lol. Good luck... Do they blame themselves? Maybe not.
In all the years I’ve known them, its never their fault. Even when it is. Glad I can walk away at times.
Enjoy the rest of the week. I’ve lost track of days since the operation. I have to keep checking my diary.
And your saying, those three words, are now on page 1 of my diary. Thanks.
They have to be fair to themselves and others.
