Thought for the Day 6/2/2023

 Friday Tale - Walking the Talk 

Some time, in the not-too-distant future, these will probably be known as “the good old days.” But for now, they’re just the times in which we live. And they are challenging times, indeed. More and more we find ourselves facing situations which test our human fiber…and our moral compass. 

    Temptations to do what’s convenient, easy, and self-serving come at us like waves rushing to the shore.

    How do we deal with this reality? How can we ensure that we stay on the right path and avoid compromising our values and beliefs? We do it by continually reflecting on the following five key principles of walking the talk…and acting accordingly.

 Principle 1: Words to Live by Are Just Words…Unless You Actually Live by Them

 Principle 2: You Are What You Do

 Principle 3: Everything You Do Counts

 Principle 4: The “Golden Rule” Is Still Pure Gold

 Principle 5: Character Is the Key

     Finally, start each new day with a commitment to do what’s right – regardless of what may come your way. Decide that this will be another day in which you WALK the TALK.

~ From Jim Gentil' Positive News

 Let your eyes look directly ahead and let your gaze be fixed straight in front of you. Watch the path of your feet and all your ways will be established. Do not turn to the right nor to the left; turn your foot from evil.~ Proverbs 4:25-27
