This is a follow on from my conversation I had with Darren, (Read it here)

Somewhere in our conversation he uttered the words:

"Most of us use too many words and do to little." (Tweet This)


I found this quite a profound statement for a guy whose only real schooling has been the school of the streets. Darren left school when he was 16. He never studied further.

This statement really hit home for me.

Most people enjoy talking a lot. I have been in plenty of meetings, conferences and gatherings where people talk about all kinds of shallow and equally deep topics.

I love talking. It's my love language, my number one thing to do. Being ignored in a conversation, or being made to be silent is my worst nightmare. In Belgium we have a saying: "To Talk like a Bruggeman"....... its non stop conversation.... As I am a Bruggeman that saying has been more than once been applied to me.

For me, talking comes so easily. It is simple to talk about other people and to prescribe quick solutions. I know a fair few people who talk for hours about the changes they need to make in their lives. I have friends who have solved most of the worlds problems in their conversations.
I am one of those...

I need to become an action man.
No, I am not talking about some rugged bare chested wrestler. A whole lot would have to change for me to become that!

I need to become a do-er of the things that need to be done in my life and in the world around me.
I can't solve every problem in the world, but by changing one thing at a time I can make steps towards a better world for everyone.

Doing however, is a hard endeavour. Leaving your comfort zone, really stepping out, taking a chance...
The next time you talk, your story will be more real when you have done it and not just read it, talked about it or saw it on TV.
