There is truth in the words that we all speak and also truth hidden in the actions of what we do or don't do. Words are a beautiful expression of who we are and what we hope to become, but words are just words, empty and hollow, without any action to back them up. Words are just sounds, without meaning or purpose, if there is no backbone to make them stand tall, to make them real.
I have experienced this many times when people tell me things that they will do, but never actually do them. They will tell me that they did something, without ever actually doing it. They spit out words with no thought for what they are saying and with no intention of ever following through. I don't know about you, but if you say you are going to do something, DO IT. Follow through. It is like setting the other person up for disappointment. They will no longer trust the words that flow from your mouth and will just be disappointed in the end. Don't disappoint people, especially those whom you care for and those that care for you. Don't make promises you don't intend to keep.
One quality that I truly admire in people is following through on what you say you will do. Keeping your word is something that isn't as common as I think it should. If you say you will be somewhere at a certain time, be there. If you say you are going to get something done, get it done. If you say you want to do something with a person, follow through. If you make plans, follow through. If you say you love someone, prove it. You get the point, I hope. Words are just words without proof. Don't throw up meaningless words, they will cause more damage than good.
