What do you really believe? No, really; what do you really, really believe? Do you believe you’re successful, that help is on the way, that you’re a great parent, worker, friend?

Now, think about your answer and explain this; if you feel you can be a millionaire, why aren’t you working toward it? If you feel you have a great story waiting to be told, why aren’t you writing it? If you feel that God has redeemed you, why are you still walking around ashamed?

Is it starting to make sense now? Your beliefs affect your actions. If you believe you have a good man, stop following him around, checking his Facebook and Twitter pages, emails and his phone. If you believe your best days are yet to come, stop living in the past and stop allowing people to reprimand you for things you’re no longer doing.

The reality is, our “mouth-piece” is much bigger than our walk. We talk a good game about all these things we believe, but we spend so much time sitting on our hands that we look more like liars than believers. When we know better, we do better. The world can tell a lot about you by what you spend your time doing. So, no, I don’t believe that you’re in love when you look so unhappy, when your mate is a stranger to me and when your actions don’t reflect it. Sorry, love has never been clad in insecurity, depression and abuse to me. Fashion 101.

You can talk to someone all day, but you can’t change their mentality. You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him thirsty (as my big sis always says). You can have a million ideas, great things, concepts to change the world, but until you step out on faith, with action…I don’t believe you. Be a doer not an intender. Be Great!
