Article 4.1 ASLTW

Are you wondering right now what ASLTW stands for? It’s the thing i get constantly comments about from my family members…

The final stroke came when I was communicating to our daughter. I had told her that I wanted to improve the bond with my sons and she pointed out that I must not just talk about it… I must do it!

And by now you may have guessed what ASLTW stands for….

Action speak louder than words!

And isn’t that so true?

Aren’t there so many people that just make a good talk?

And i don’t want to point any fingers here, because I have been guilty of just talking and not walking the talk plenty of times. Not ‘acting’ is actually the reason why am I writing this here.

But isn’t acting/ doing it, that what makes the difference in the end?… that makes the difference in life…?

Does it make a difference to just have an idea or following through on it?

Does it make a difference to tell our kids or anyone that we want to give it our best shot to achieve something for them or others that could make their lives better

OR

actually doing things to have a better chance to actually achieve whatever we had set our minds to?

I certainly think so.

Ok, coming back to our daughter… in our conversations she pointed truthfully and rightfully out to me that i should not just talk about improving my relationships with my sons… she pointed out that I must start doing things to actually improve it!!!

This was a very painful experience to say the least… I did not want to hear that comment again!!

Am I someone who just talks rather than does things?

And I mean in general… no one is perfect so there will be always the one thing that could have been done and wasn’t done…or could have been done differently or better… No, I am talking about making a real effort to bring things to the next level….

In 2018, I decided to document whenever I told myself or my boys what I planned to do. That way I could make sure that I’m following through with my commitments. And if someone close to me were to say ‘Action speaks louder than words’ then I’ll take that as a sign that I’m not following through in 2018…

So, our daughters comments pushed me over the edge and caused me to make a real decision, not just yeah I should do that one day or another… No, i decided to

STEP UP!

and to step up NOW and raise the standard! YES!

Raise the standard on acting and doing rather than talking.

Then I thought more about this idea and the more I thought about it the clearer it became to me…

Isn’t acting and doing a fundamental, a necessity to get what we want in life?… in every area of life?…isn’t it one of the main ingredients to have a

SPECTACULAR LIFE ???

I hear your YES… because nothing will ever happen without any action.

And how could I make my commitment stronger that my chances of following through are improving…?

I can create an ASLTW log on this blog!

And why not call the blog

SPECTACUAR LIFE ????

So, here I am writing my first post on my blog and am about to write my first entries into the ASLTW log.

What a SPECTACULAR MOMENT!
