Your WORDS Are WORTHLESS Without ACTION! (S5) S43:E7 Friday · Inspirations for Your Life

0:23
Well there, hello everyone, and welcome to the
0:26
ever-popular Inspirations for Your Life show.
0:29
It's great to be with you.
0:30
It is Friday.
0:31
It's October 23rd, 2026.
0:34
That's October 23rd, 2026.
0:37
And a Friday means that we are ending
0:39
our master topic.
0:40
We've had a nice long week with it,
0:42
and now we're finishing it.
0:44
We go from Saturday and we roll the
0:46
week to Friday.
0:47
Okay, if this is the very first time
0:49
you're here, I would like to take the
0:51
opportunity to say thank you, and of course
0:53
I'd like to say the words welcome to
0:55
you.
0:55
If you've been here one time, five times,
0:58
10 times, 100, maybe more, or maybe you
1:01
even lost track of the count, that's okay.
1:04
It's still great to have you here.
1:05
I want to say welcome and I want
1:06
to say thank you, and I also want
1:08
to say the words welcome back because you
1:10
are very welcome here.
1:11
I have a delicious Aro water bottle here
1:14
with some fresh lemon.
1:18
It is delicious.
1:19
So let's get into the show, but before
1:22
we do, I want to encourage you to
1:23
check out BelieveMeAchieve.com, of course, for more
1:26
of my amazing, inspiring creations, which you can
1:29
do 24 hours a day and do that
1:30
after the show is over.
1:33
All right, guys, let's get into this show.
1:37
All right.
1:39
Your words are worthless without action.
1:43
Series 5, show 43, episode 7, Friday as
1:47
we're going to conclude this whole master topic
1:49
this week.
1:50
Welcome, everyone, to the ever-popular inspirations for
1:53
your life show.
1:54
I'm John C.
1:55
Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
2:02
podcast host, coach, professional keynote speaker, a graduate
2:06
student at Montclair State University, a passionate lifelong
2:09
learner, and now so grateful to be, yes,
2:12
a published author.
2:14
Welcome, everyone.
2:14
So let me ask you something, okay?
2:17
Have you ever met someone who made big
2:19
promises but never actually followed through on them?
2:23
Maybe you have.
2:24
Maybe you haven't.
2:26
I don't know.
2:26
But I think that's an important thing to
2:28
realize and be cognizant of.
2:31
So they talked about honesty, loyalty, respect, and
2:36
responsibility.
2:37
They knew exactly what to say, but when
2:39
it came time to act, everything changed.
2:42
It's like they talked a great show, but
2:45
they did nothing.
2:46
You've had people like that.
2:48
Now here's the uncomfortable question.
2:51
Have you ever done the same thing yourself?
2:54
It's easy to talk about what matters and
2:56
have a big game.
2:57
It's much harder to demonstrate those values when
3:00
the choice becomes inconvenient.
3:02
For example, writing a book, okay?
3:04
And so writing a book, you can talk
3:06
a big game about writing a book, but
3:08
do you actually write the book or do
3:11
you just talk about it for five or
3:12
10 years, okay?
3:13
So our weekly series is Stop Giving Your
3:15
Power Away, Take Back Control of Your Life.
3:19
We've spent six days already building the foundation.
3:22
Today, Friday, we're bringing everything full circle together
3:26
with our final theme.
3:27
You ready?
3:28
Live With Integrity.
3:30
So let's explore 30 powerful ways to make
3:33
sure your actions support your words.
3:36
Number one, understand that integrity begins when your
3:40
actions reflect your values.
3:42
That's your core values.
3:44
Your beliefs become meaningful when they guide your
3:47
decisions.
3:47
Ask whether your behavior supports what your claim
3:52
is, and that matters.
3:56
Number two, stop making commitments that your behavior
4:00
does not support.
4:01
A promise without a realistic plan can damage
4:04
trust.
4:06
Commit thoughtfully and follow through consistently.
4:10
Yes, follow through consistently.
4:12
It's okay to talk a big game, but
4:15
if you don't ever actually do anything, well,
4:19
you're going to really ruin your reputation.
4:22
Number three, recognize the difference between appearing trustworthy
4:26
and being trustworthy.
4:28
So a polished image can create an impression.
4:31
Reliability is demonstrated through honest, repeated behavior.
4:34
For example, people that talk a big game
4:37
or that always have to brag about things
4:40
probably don't have anything really to brag about.
4:43
They're just, you know, sharing things that maybe
4:46
are true.
4:46
Maybe they're not, but that's like their whole
4:49
life.
4:49
They have nothing else.
4:50
And I feel sorry for these people because
4:52
that's like what makes them feel important.
4:56
But your things are not what make you
4:58
feel important.
4:59
They're part of your life, but they're not
5:00
everything.
5:01
And people that do that, I feel so
5:03
sorry for because they're really missing out on
5:05
life.
5:06
Number four, guys, learn to keep promises even
5:09
when nobody is watching.
5:11
Integrity isn't a performance for an audience.
5:14
Your private choices matter just as much as
5:17
your public reputation.
5:18
So what you build in private is actually
5:21
your character, okay?
5:24
Your character then actually drifts into what people
5:29
see in the world.
5:29
And that is your reputation.
5:31
We call it your public reputation.
5:33
Number five, stop changing your principles simply to
5:37
gain approval.
5:38
Respect other viewpoints, but don't abandon your values
5:41
whenever someone disagrees.
5:44
Character requires a stable foundation.
5:47
And it's your character that cements a true
5:51
reliable reputation.
5:52
Remember, character is built in private.
5:57
Your reputation is what happens in public.
6:00
But it comes because of how you built
6:04
your character in private.
6:06
Number six, recognize when convenience is competing with
6:10
your core values.
6:11
The easiest option isn't always the right one,
6:14
guys.
6:15
Consider what your decision says about your own
6:18
core priorities and values.
6:20
Number seven, understand that honesty includes acknowledging uncomfortable
6:24
truths.
6:25
It happens.
6:26
Sometimes the truth is difficult to admit.
6:29
Facing it responsibly creates opportunities for genuine improvement.
6:32
I'll give you an example.
6:33
So you guys may have known if you've
6:35
been following me this week.
6:36
It was my uncle's funeral.
6:39
And that's my mom's brother.
6:42
And so we had some uncomfortable truths that
6:45
happened.
6:46
We haven't spoken 25 years.
6:49
There were a few people in the family
6:51
that were nice.
6:52
But a lot of the other people were
6:55
just kind of like, I don't know, with
6:58
their nose in the air.
6:59
Like playing this, like, you know, we're better
7:02
than mighty kind of attitude.
7:05
And the thing is, the truth is difficult
7:09
to admit.
7:10
I remember my mom saying to one of
7:14
my cousins that, you know, your family's not
7:17
really very nice to us.
7:18
There are a few people that are nice,
7:19
but your whole family is really not very
7:21
nice.
7:22
And my cousin's like, you know, okay, because
7:25
my mom's at least, he's like, okay, Talisa,
7:27
we'll have to talk about it.
7:28
My mom's like, no, there's nothing to talk
7:30
about.
7:31
He's like, okay, Talisa, no problem.
7:34
And facing it responsibly creates opportunities for genuine
7:38
improvement.
7:39
In fact, we later learned that they didn't
7:42
even want us to be there.
7:45
We learned through a cousin that my uncle
7:49
was dying.
7:50
And I went to go see him this
7:51
past Sunday when this was supposed to be
7:53
my break week.
7:54
And then my parents came up basically.
7:57
So that was last week.
7:58
I went to go see him Sunday.
8:00
And then they came up this Saturday and
8:02
they're staying till this Saturday.
8:05
So, you know, that was a challenge.
8:07
We haven't talked to that part of the
8:09
family in 25 years.
8:11
Facing responsibly creates opportunities for genuine improvement.
8:14
And I remember my aunt saying, you know,
8:17
I had a conversation with my aunt because
8:18
she called me back after I called her.
8:20
And we were on the phone for like
8:21
53 minutes.
8:22
She's like, John, she's like, I hope that
8:24
we can pick up some of the pieces
8:25
and start over.
8:26
You know, I like that too.
8:28
But is it genuine?
8:29
You don't know.
8:31
Somebody could say that and mean it.
8:33
But I guess over time is what happens.
8:37
If we don't hear from them anymore, then
8:39
we know that was just something that happened
8:41
now because they're grieving.
8:43
But only time will tell the truth on
8:45
that, guys.
8:46
Number eight, stop expecting credibility without consistent behavior.
8:49
Trust develops when people see dependable actions over
8:53
time.
8:53
Your reputation cannot survive on promises alone.
8:57
If you think it will, well, you're going
8:58
to be highly disappointed.
9:03
Okay.
9:03
Number nine, recognize the importance of treating people
9:07
fairly regardless of status.
9:09
Respect shouldn't depend on someone's job title, wealth,
9:14
or even the influence they have.
9:16
Character appears in everyday interactions.
9:17
And I said it's the character that usually
9:19
shows up privately that turns into stellar reputation.
9:24
Number 10, learn to make responsible decisions when
9:28
easier options are tempting.
9:31
Shortcuts can carry hidden consequences, guys.
9:34
Yes, they can.
9:35
Think beyond the immediate convenience and consider what
9:38
is right.
9:39
Okay.
9:40
That's your choice.
9:41
Number 11.
9:44
Before I get number 11, I want to
9:46
share one thing.
9:46
There was another person that is related in
9:49
our family.
9:51
I remember the person shaking my hand and
9:54
I'm saying my condolences to him.
9:58
When we got there, it was like this
10:02
nice to see you and all this.
10:04
But then what happened is the air of
10:08
the person's ways really showed.
10:11
So that facade of like, you know, it's
10:13
nice to see you, that was like a
10:16
face.
10:17
It wasn't the truth because as we left
10:19
different events like even the funeral, we left
10:24
the cemetery, we left the repass, there was
10:28
no attempt to even come out and talk
10:30
to us.
10:31
Number 11, stop allowing the short-term rewards
10:34
to compromise a long-term trust.
10:36
Many people do this and they are regretful
10:39
for it their whole life.
10:40
A temporary advantage may not be work damaging
10:44
a relationship or reputation you spent years to
10:47
build, right?
10:48
You don't want to damage that.
10:50
Number 12.
10:51
Recognize when your actions contradict your stated priorities.
10:56
If you're claiming something matters, repeatedly neglecting it,
11:02
examine what needs to change.
11:03
So if you're speaking out of your mouth
11:04
on this side, but then you're actually doing
11:06
nothing on this side, we can call that
11:10
two-faced, we can call that lack of
11:12
accountability, we can call it a lot of
11:13
things.
11:14
But one thing we can call it is
11:15
a poor reputation.
11:19
Number 13.
11:20
Understand that personal integrity requires ongoing self-reflection.
11:24
Ask yourself whether your choices align with your
11:27
principles, your core values.
11:28
Honest reflection helps reveal opportunities for growth.
11:33
It's not about making yourself seem better than
11:35
others.
11:36
Number 14.
11:38
Stop making excuses for behavior you know needs
11:41
improvement.
11:43
Explanations can provide context, but they shouldn't become
11:46
permission to repeat avoidable mistakes.
11:49
I think a lot of people do this
11:51
in various types of relationships because they think
11:54
if they do this, they're going to like,
11:56
I don't know, earn brownie points, which I
11:58
think is like ridiculous.
12:00
So we have to understand what that really
12:03
means, right?
12:05
We have to see what that really means.
12:08
And it's important to know that.
12:11
So learn to admit mistakes and make meaningful
12:14
corrections.
12:16
An apology is valuable, but corrective action demonstrates
12:20
that you've learned something important.
12:24
Now, whether somebody else chooses to go that
12:26
way, again, that's up to them, but it's
12:29
your choice also whether you want to stay
12:30
around them or whether you want to say
12:33
sayonara.
12:34
Generally, when somebody's words don't match their actions
12:41
after a while, you know what happens?
12:44
We usually say goodbye.
12:49
I think that's an important thing.
12:51
And we're not doing it to be nasty,
12:54
okay?
12:54
We're not doing it to be nasty, but
12:55
I think that's a very important thing.
12:58
So number 17.
12:59
Stop confusing strong opinions with strong character, okay?
13:03
I know that can be for a lot
13:04
of people.
13:05
Speaking loudly doesn't make someone right.
13:08
Character is demonstrated through fairness, honesty, and responsibility.
13:11
Just because I yell at somebody, right?
13:12
If somebody yells, it may get somebody's attention
13:15
immediately.
13:16
Like if there's a fire or something, you
13:17
say, hey, and you get their attention.
13:19
But then after you realize they're talking for
13:20
me, it's like, what are these people even
13:21
saying?
13:22
Like, why am I paying attention to this
13:24
person, right?
13:25
Number 18.
13:26
Recognize that respectful disagreement can coexist with true
13:30
integrity.
13:31
You can stand firmly behind your values while
13:33
listening thoughtfully and treating others with dignity.
13:36
I like to say something really important.
13:37
And that is, I want to agree to
13:41
disagree with you.
13:42
Like, huh?
13:43
Basically what it's saying is, I'm pretty much
13:46
agreeing that I hear what you're saying.
13:50
But I'm also not, I'm honestly not in
13:57
agreement with how you're doing it.
13:58
So I'm in agreement with what you're telling
14:00
me.
14:01
That I agree it's what you're telling me
14:02
and I acknowledge it.
14:04
But it also means that I don't particularly
14:07
believe in that direction.
14:09
Number 18, guys.
14:11
Recognize that respectful disagreement can coexist with integrity.
14:14
So you can stand firmly behind your values
14:17
while listening thoughtfully and treating others with dignity.
14:20
I think that's the main thing, treating people
14:22
with dignity.
14:23
Dignity is not a game.
14:25
Dignity is not something you do because you
14:26
want to get in the limelight.
14:28
Dignity is something you do because of your
14:30
character you're building and it flows through to
14:33
your reputation.
14:34
That's how your reputation is built.
14:35
Number 19, understand why consistency matters more than
14:40
public recognition.
14:41
Doing the right thing without applause, it reveals
14:43
genuine commitment, okay?
14:46
Integrity doesn't require an audience.
14:48
If you think it does, then I would
14:49
go back and rethink that.
14:51
Number 20, stop allowing external pressure to determine
14:55
your personal standards.
14:57
Other people's expectations can influence you.
14:59
But your principles should guide your decisions, not
15:04
other people.
15:05
And don't allow their manipulations to get you
15:07
to change your path.
15:09
To say, oh, you know, I don't want
15:11
to have conflict.
15:14
Okay, I get you don't have conflict.
15:16
But that also means that you're going to
15:18
bow down to everybody and that you're never
15:20
going to do what you need to do.
15:22
So you should, even though you want to
15:24
avoid conflict, you should still stand up and
15:26
say, wait a minute.
15:26
I hear what you're saying, and I frankly
15:30
can't support that.
15:32
Or I think there's another way.
15:35
Number 21, recognize the importance of honoring reasonable
15:39
boundaries.
15:40
We talked about this early in the week.
15:42
Respect the limits, others communicate.
15:45
And practice your own mutual respect as it
15:48
strengthens healthy relationships.
15:50
Now this doesn't do this overnight.
15:52
So let me just tell you, it's not
15:53
like, you know, you're going to pop something
15:55
in, bam, it works.
15:56
It's not like a program.
15:57
This is something that you have to build
15:59
over time.
16:00
When people see that you are genuine, that's
16:03
when they say, wait a minute.
16:04
That's somebody I want to be with.
16:06
That's somebody I want to communicate with.
16:07
That's a friend that I want to have,
16:09
right?
16:10
Number 22, please learn to make choices your
16:14
future self can respect.
16:17
Before acting, consider whether you'll be comfortable explaining
16:20
your decision tomorrow, next month, or years from
16:23
now.
16:23
I think that's something a lot of people
16:25
think, well, you know, I don't have to
16:26
worry about that.
16:26
But actually you do.
16:27
You need to worry about how you're treating
16:29
people.
16:31
Not because you're trying to get something out
16:33
of them, but because you want to keep
16:35
your reputation intact.
16:37
I would think you do, right?
16:39
I would think you want to do that.
16:41
Number 23, I ask you to stop measuring
16:44
character solely through the achievement or only the
16:47
possessions that you have.
16:49
Success and status don't automatically demonstrate integrity.
16:52
Nothing wrong with possessions.
16:53
Nothing wrong with having material things.
16:56
But don't make them the heart of your
16:58
life, okay?
16:59
Demonstrate integrity.
17:01
Look at how people behave and treat others
17:04
that way.
17:05
You know, at the event that happened the
17:08
other day, I have to tell you, I
17:10
could feel a falseness.
17:14
I could sense a phoniness.
17:19
And it wasn't something I was going to
17:21
try to defend or something that I was
17:23
going to try to ask about.
17:25
It was just something I acknowledged.
17:26
And I said, you know what?
17:28
This is how they want to be.
17:30
That's fine.
17:31
But that's not how I am.
17:33
And so there were a few people that
17:35
were nice.
17:35
Like, you know, my two cousins were nice
17:37
to me.
17:37
My aunt was nice to me.
17:39
And there was even a stranger that was
17:40
nice to us.
17:42
My aunt's sister and husband.
17:49
So they were nice to me.
17:51
And even my one cousin's mother-in-law
17:57
was extremely nice to us.
18:00
So I think that was really, really cool.
18:02
Number 25, understand that integrity includes compassion and
18:07
responsibility.
18:08
Honesty shouldn't become an excuse for cruelty.
18:12
No, guys, never.
18:15
Treat people thoughtfully while remaining accountable for your
18:19
own actions.
18:21
Not because you're trying to win.
18:23
Not because you're trying to prove that you're
18:25
better than anybody.
18:26
No, because you want to do what's right.
18:31
When people see you want to do what's
18:33
right, guess what happens?
18:34
They suddenly are like, wait a minute.
18:37
I get it now.
18:38
I understand.
18:41
I understand why you're doing this.
18:43
And it's not because you're trying to get
18:45
praise.
18:45
You're just being who you are, all right?
18:48
And when you can be who you are,
18:49
I think that's the most important thing I
18:52
can tell you.
18:53
You're not being who you are because you
18:55
want to impress somebody.
18:56
You're being who you are because that's your
19:00
makeup.
19:01
That is your character.
19:03
I said that your character that's developed in
19:05
private will eventually filter through or roll through
19:10
or flow through to your reputation, good or
19:13
bad.
19:14
And so when we think about maybe I
19:18
don't want to be that way, ask yourself,
19:20
how do I treat myself when I'm alone?
19:23
That will flow through in public.
19:26
That is a given.
19:28
And people say, well, gee, if I could
19:29
be this one way when I'm alone, another
19:31
way.
19:31
No, it doesn't work that way.
19:33
You don't have two places, guys.
19:35
You are one way.
19:37
And that's why you can't suddenly change your
19:42
character and your reputation.
19:43
If your character is lousy, your reputation is
19:46
going to be bad.
19:47
If you have good character, then your reputation
19:50
is going to be good.
19:51
It's a kind of thing that goes together.
19:53
But a lot of people just don't understand
19:55
why that happens.
19:57
And the reason it happens is because if
19:59
people see that you respect, love, and trust
20:02
yourself and you treat yourself well, they're like,
20:06
well, wait a minute.
20:07
That person will probably treat me well because
20:09
they're treating themselves well.
20:11
You might have heard the golden rule, treat
20:13
others the way you want to be treated.
20:15
So if you treat yourself the way you
20:17
want to be treated, others should treat you
20:19
that same way.
20:20
That's important.
20:22
Number 26, please stop expecting personal growth to
20:25
happen without daily practice.
20:28
Again, it's not a program you run once
20:30
and say, okay, I got it.
20:31
No, it's not like that.
20:33
Character develops through repeated choices.
20:36
Now, character comes in your own personal world.
20:40
The world that nobody else sees.
20:43
And it's those choices and actions that you
20:45
take that filter into your public world because
20:48
that's what builds your reputation.
20:51
You don't like your reputation, change your personal
20:54
world.
20:55
It will eventually flow through.
20:57
So that's important.
20:59
Character develops through repeated choices.
21:02
Small actions can strengthen habits that will last.
21:06
Number 27, recognize how your behavior influences the
21:11
people around you that's surrounding you.
21:14
Others notice whether you follow through, communicate honestly,
21:18
and treat people fairly.
21:20
Lead through example.
21:22
Let's say, for example, I'll give an example.
21:24
So I'm an Eagle Scout.
21:25
Let's say when I was going on a
21:26
trip and we had patrol leaders that were
21:30
basically never following through with what they said.
21:33
I'm like, I don't want to be in
21:34
their patrol anymore.
21:35
They never did what they say they're going
21:37
to be.
21:37
Why would I want to be there?
21:39
So you have to pay attention to your
21:42
behavior because when you do that, you're like,
21:45
wait a minute.
21:46
I really have got to be more cognizant
21:48
about how I'm acting.
21:50
Number 28, guys, review the six lessons that
21:54
prepare you for today's commitment.
21:57
Ownership, self-worth, clear thinking, priorities, responsibility, and
22:04
boundaries all support living with integrity.
22:06
Let me say that again.
22:08
That is ownership, self-worth, clear thinking, priorities,
22:16
responsibility, and boundaries which all support living with
22:21
integrity.
22:22
Number 29, choose one value you will demonstrate
22:26
through consistent action.
22:27
Maybe it's honesty, reliability, kindness, fairness, compassion.
22:33
Identify a specific behavior that reflects it.
22:37
Number 30, live with integrity because your actions
22:41
reveal what you truly resonate with, what matters
22:45
to you.
22:46
Not because you have to, but because you
22:48
want to.
22:49
Words can express your intentions, but consistent choices
22:53
demonstrate your commitment through the actions you take.
22:56
You tell somebody you're going to do this,
22:57
but then you never show up.
22:58
You ever had a friend and they're supposed
23:01
to help you out, but then they never
23:03
are available, right?
23:05
That's somebody you start to stop losing trust
23:12
because they never do what they say.
23:14
Now, ladies and gentlemen, here is your Friday
23:16
challenge.
23:17
You know I give you a challenge every
23:18
day.
23:18
Choose one personal value you want to demonstrate
23:22
more consistently in your life.
23:24
Maybe you value honesty.
23:27
Maybe it's integrity.
23:28
Maybe it's compassion, okay?
23:31
Maybe it's kindness.
23:34
Maybe it's listening, right?
23:37
Maybe it's understanding.
23:39
Commit to communicating truthfully even when it's uncomfortable.
23:43
Remember I said to you guys, success lies
23:45
and breeds where it becomes uncomfortable.
23:48
Not painful, just uncomfortable.
23:50
Maybe you value reliability.
23:53
Follow through on one promise you made.
23:55
Maybe you value respect.
23:58
Show it through how you treat someone who
24:01
disagrees with you.
24:02
Remember, what we say is one thing, but
24:04
how we show people who we are and
24:07
what we do, that's what matters.
24:10
Anybody can get up and say things, but
24:12
it's how you demonstrate things through your actions.
24:16
Whatever you choose, ladies and gentlemen, commit to
24:19
one specific action you'll repeat beyond this week.
24:24
Keep doing it.
24:24
It'll change your life.
24:25
Don't make this another promise that disappears tomorrow.
24:28
Oh, I'm going to focus on integrity.
24:31
I'm going to focus on, oh, but you
24:32
know what?
24:33
I'm tired tomorrow, or I don't want to
24:34
do it tomorrow, or I'm busy.
24:37
We'll start next week.
24:39
Don't make this another promise that disappears tomorrow
24:43
because then you're going to not take yourself
24:46
seriously.
24:46
That's a problem.
24:47
Make it a practice that becomes part of
24:50
who you are.
24:51
Your character.
24:52
Your character will funnel into your S, your
24:57
reputation in public.
24:59
Saturday, ladies and gentlemen, we learn to own
25:01
it and reclaim control of our decisions.
25:04
Sunday, we learn to know your worth without
25:07
depending on everyone's approval.
25:09
Monday, we learn to think clearly together and
25:12
evaluate emotional pressure.
25:14
Tuesday, we learn to set priorities and invest
25:17
our energy where it actually matters.
25:20
Wednesday, we learn to take responsibility seriously and
25:25
turn our intentions into actions.
25:27
It's one thing to have intentions, but if
25:29
we never turn them into action, there's no
25:33
point.
25:34
Thursday, we learned to protect our power through
25:37
healthy boundaries.
25:39
Sometimes we always want to be the yes
25:40
man or the yes lady.
25:41
I've learned that that's nice, but actually that
25:44
drains us and that doesn't leave things on
25:47
our table, and that's not right for ourselves.
25:51
Forget about being kind.
25:53
We're being unkind to ourself.
25:56
And today, ladies and gentlemen, Friday, we're wrapping
25:59
the whole week up with completing our journey
26:02
by learning to live with integrity.
26:05
Now, these aren't seven disconnected lessons, in case
26:09
you're wondering.
26:09
They work together in union.
26:12
So when you own your choices, you recognize
26:16
your worth.
26:17
You think clearly.
26:18
You set priorities.
26:19
You accept responsibility.
26:20
You establish boundaries.
26:21
You create the foundation for a life guided
26:23
by your true core values.
26:26
But none of these lessons matter unless you
26:30
do one thing.
26:31
Ladies and gentlemen, you know what that is?
26:32
Practice them.
26:34
I can give you all the advice in
26:35
the world, but if you don't choose to
26:37
practice it, it's never going to matter for
26:39
you, right?
26:41
My grandmother always used to tell me, and
26:42
I love to play piano, John, if you
26:43
don't play, you're never going to get better.
26:45
And she was right.
26:47
And I had to develop that habit to
26:50
want to play.
26:51
It took a little time, but I did.
26:54
And so you need to practice these.
26:57
And as you practice them, you get a
26:59
little better.
26:59
And as you get better, you grow more
27:01
confidence, and then it just becomes a domino
27:03
effect.
27:04
Ladies and gentlemen, I am John C.
27:07
Morley, serial entrepreneur, engineer, marketing specialist, video producer,
27:10
author, graduate student, and a lot more.
27:12
I thank you so much from the bottom
27:14
of my heart for choosing to join me
27:16
on this amazing, empowering inspiration for your live
27:18
show today, and for being part of this
27:21
seven-day journey that I hope is starting
27:24
to change your life.
27:25
Remember, ladies and gentlemen, the world doesn't need
27:28
another empty promise.
27:30
It needs people willing to demonstrate honesty, responsibility,
27:34
compassion, and consistency through meaningful action.
27:38
I'm not going to tell you that's easy,
27:40
but if you do, you'll be successful.
27:42
Let your character speak through your choices.
27:45
Let your actions be louder than your words.
27:47
Stay driven, ladies and gentlemen.
27:49
Keep growing.
27:50
And if you do that, your life will
27:52
change over time.
27:53
And guess what?
27:54
I'm going to see you in another episode
27:56
real soon.
27:57
Tomorrow, we start a brand new master topic.
27:59
Have yourself a great yesterday or evening, and
28:01
check out BelieveMeAchieve.com for more of my
28:02
amazing, inspiring creations.
28:04
Take care, everyone.
28:29
Bye.
