On trains and subways they say, “Watch the gap getting on and off the train.”
Watch the gap in relationships—the say-do gap.
Is someone close to you saying he’ll do something and never doing it?
Are you saying you are committed to doing more—more exercise, more studying, more healthy living—but not doing anything to meet your commitment?
Watch the Say-Do Gap. Say what you’re going to do—and do it. Listen to someone else say what she plans to do and then see if she does it. If it’s all talk and no action, then it’s time to reevaluate. Changing our lives means just that–taking one small step to change our lives.
Watch the Say-Do Gap.
