Talk Is Not Cheap

While thinking of what to write this morning, I thought about how many people this year have said one thing or another with regard to assisting my launch. I thought about particular people that’ll remain nameless, who quickly volunteered their talents and services. Yet when action was required, they were absent.

Over the years we’ve heard the adage that talk is cheap. In some instances that could be true, but I’m thinking of the true cost of the belief in the words spoken. Humans are the only species on the planet with the power of speech. We alone have the ability to articulate our thoughts, emotions, and feelings.

With that in mind, I believe talk is not cheap. It’s actually priceless, something so rare among the other inhabitants of our planet it’s challenging to quantify. In fact, its non-existence among other species may prove the reason we as humans take it for granted; thereby diminishing its value.

The Four Agreements states, “Be impeccable with your word.” My father would say, “A man’s only as good as his word.” He repeatedly taught the lesson and its importance. Perhaps he knew the power of words and wanted me to know that as well.

Today, Thursday, September 15, 2022, I am grateful that:

Gary and I got a chance to catch up. He’d been out of town helping his sister get moved into a new house. It’s great to have friends for such a long time. He’s more like a big brother than a friend, he’s family.

I’m making some headway on my current project. It’ll be great to hit my deadline and get this deal done. I’m ready to move on to another project. Mine and mine alone. I need to position myself so I’m able to turn away work that’s not aligned with my purpose and its fulfillment.

I’m able to see how things will manifest. I’m willing and wanting to develop partnerships that’ll benefit all parties. I’m needing to eliminate my liabilities and partnering with other experts will be the absolute fastest and most effective way to make that happen.

Are you impeccable with your word?

Do you believe talk is cheap?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
