"Talk? or do the Work?"

Share / Read Online

And here we are. The month is winding down and the light increasing more and more each day in this part of the world.

So let's continue to shine that light on the fine art of talking: when to; when not to; what it indicates; what it masks and what it really means in a given moment.

How many times have we all let Our Selves steep in our own words? perhaps basking in them? sharing our great gained knowledge with others? oh so ready to "fix" an issue by talking about it?

It's all very well and fine to draw on and share our experience and wisdom in the right moment. Where we all can get tripped up, though, is in just talking about it, rather than the act of doing it.

Regardless of how much knowledge, awareness and experience we have, when it comes to deep healing and making lasting changes in our lives, all of those are just reference points. Until we take action, change does not happen at all. We are just idling.

"Talk? or do the Work?" (2:16) How often do you find Your Self in this dilemma? And what do you do about it?

Another aspect of talking about the task at hand vs. doing it is that it tempts us into thinking that magic is afoot and the mere talking will be enough to create the change(s) that we're seeking. Alas...this too is not the case. There is no quick fix or miracle elixir. What do you do when you're confronted with this reality?

Can you do the work, despite knowing that there "Ain't No Magic" (2:30)?

Lots of talking and chit chat this month. While it can reflect and even reinforce at times the knowledge we're gaining, it cannot replace what really matters: taking action. Period. So if you find Your Self stuck in the loop of awareness instead of taking action, then let's connect and see how we can change this for you.

In the meantime, let's make sure that our practice goes beyond words, regardless of how accurate, potent and meaningful they are. If we truly want change in our lives, it will only happen when we step our deep awareness down into action. Done and done.

Here's to gentler times.

May it be so...

Cheers,
