I am not an expert...on anything! Haha.
I do more listening than I do talking and that is the basis for most of my knowledge and experience. Sadly enough...
Hearing is great and listening is even better! When listening, however, becomes the substitute for action (therefore, experience) I have made a critical error.
I have spent the majority of my life listening, but very little of it talking or doing.
They say actions speak louder than words, but no one wants to point out the risks of action. Action always takes a measure of risk since you can never be 100% as to the results and/or success of your actions.
When I do speak, I want my teaching to be more than experiences I've taken from others! No, I want those experiences shared to be mingled (if not primarily) with that which I have lived!
As most people know, I am an avid OneRepublic listener! And one of their songs that continually moves me is "I Lived." Listen to it real quick!
I don't want to just hear these words. I want them to reflect my reality! I want to live life well and I want to be a catalyst in a broken world. I don't really know how to do that yet, but I'm going to start by testing the waters and going out and "doing."
Grace and Peace,
Stephen
