In all labor there is profit,
But talk of the lips leads only to poverty.
Proverbs 14:23 (TS2009)
There’s nothing worse than hearing someone talk about ‘what they wanna to do’ for the 117th time especially when it’s been two and a half years and they’re working the same job, have the same bad habits, and spewing out the same excuses.
I generally try me best to be a patient person, but that’s just one of the quickest ways to piss me off…
The crazy thing is: a lot of the time, the people I’ve encountered who do this actually have the potential to accomplish their big aspirations but for whatever reason they just never take that first step.
There are so many lies that these people believe about themselves– maybe it’s because of negative self-talk like I wrote about yesterday or because they grew up being told by a parent that ‘they’re a stupid piece of sh– um…– “junk.”‘
I’ve seen it happen.
Excuses are just terrorists for your dreams.

If you’re following this blog though, chances are you’re not that type of person who’s content with excuses. And if you are– at least you have the humility to stomach me pointing it out.
Action is the cure.
Like the Proverb mentions, the only way to gain any type of profit is to actually go out and do something. Otherwise you’re condemned to a life of poverty and mediocrity.
This is not just referring numbers in a bank account, but spiritually, mentally, physically, relationally, et cetera. Whatever it is that you want to do, don’t talk about it be about it.
Don’t get caught up in the endless cycle of research either. Like I said in an earlier post, knowledge doesn’t do you any good unless apply it.
Otherwise you’ll just be a smart fool, and you’re better than that.
