Actions speak louder than words

Remember when you were a kid, and the adults would always say, "Treat people the way you want to be treated!" I think they were on to something. That saying is not followed by most, which says a lot about a person.

People are so in-tuned with themselves that they don't realize the things they do actually effects others around them. Its troubling to be in a situation when you know your doing the right thing and the other person is just completely out of line.

Relationships are hard. They are hard work every single day. The relationships that aren't worked on, are the ones that disappear faster than quick sand. Think about all the different relationships in your life... which ones are the ones that actually mean something to you? Do you talk to that person everyday? How often do you see them? These are key aspects to keeping great relationships with people. Now i'm not just referring to friendships, this also goes hand and hand with intimate relationships.

Having that special person in your life is what every person would like. The person to text all day long, make dinner plans with, book vacations with, share your life with, is the ultimate point of a great relationship. This is all nice until those day to day activities become routine, those planned out moments turn into a job, and no one can agree on if they should eat out to do take out. These things are what turns a great relationship into a rut. Something about the label of relationship does change how things work; the way one must speak, act, dress, etc. all change.

Although some people might agree that by having that special person in your life, really completes you...the truth is, if you don't feel completed without anyone, who are you really? Do you not feel comfortable in your own skin without someone else in your life than just your family and friends? This ties into the saying "actions speak louder than words."

I am a true believer of this and i'll tell you why. Words are great. They can be put into poems, and novels, and really anything you need in order to know what something is or means... but they are just words. Anyone can say words, put them together, create a lie out of them, tell it like it is. But actions, those are personal. You can argue that yes, a person can "fake" an action, but most people aren't aware of every action they make, whereas words are usually thought of before spoken.

Actions do speak louder than words in my opinion and I will stand by this forever. Your words might mean one thing but its what you do that is truly what you mean.

People can choose how they treat others, even if it's not how they would want to be treated. They have that ability to make others feel a certain way. That being said, those who do choose to make others feel special are the gems of the world. I'm sure there are plenty of gems out there, but for some reason, the pebbles are what are more noticeable.

Genuine people are those who are looked pasted at as the compatible ones. They are too safe, too reliable, not a chase, you know, all the things people should want, but don't.

It's funny, you don't realize these things until you are forced to. Those gems are good gems that should be considered before the million pebbles out there. Sometimes it's not right away, but you know what the best thing is, you just are waiting to see if that's what you need.
