ACTIONS > WORDS 

#fact

It’s very easy to take what is said on face value – but ultimately human beings will always do what’s best for THEM

This does not make them bad people

This does not make them good people 

It simply makes them….

…people

Humans will always retreat from pain and be attracted to pleasure; what is said is not always what is meant or done 

I know this because I myself have applied a ‘gloss’ back in the day to my words to make others happy when deep down I knew what I wanted/what my agenda was

I am human after all

Now I find myself being more blunt and ‘filter free’ because in the long run you will either fuck up or hurt someone or ruin your reputation if you do not 

Old me use to go full rage when I felt I had been misled

Now I try and approach it with quiet pragmatism and looking at things from the OTHER persons point of view

I got sales from my dad

I got empathy from my mum

Every single human has wants and needs and desires and we have no right to impart OUR beliefs on them

Taking time to see why people do (or don’t do ) what they say and looking at it both critically and with empathy is key to growth

We all Get dealt a hand of cards in the game of Life

It’s up to us how we play them

Do we go all in?

Do we hit the dealer up for another card?

Do we fold?

That is a choice we are all confronted with many times a day

And no person – me included – has the right to interfere with your choices 

You just have to to what’s best for you and hope it works out

Above all I say this

The more you keep your word to yourself – and others – life tends to improve 

Say less 

Do more
