Be a doer not a talker

My mum always says to me that success, in whatever you pursue, comes to those that are active. By that she means the people that have ideas and act on them are better off in life then those who choose to idly sit by and simply talk about them.

 I suppose to some extent i come off as having the latter character trait as i enjoy a chat but i never figured it to be a hindrance to my life plans. Perhaps i will aim to be a 'doer' not a 'talker' during this year and see where it takes me.

The elderly have survived them all, which means they can share their wisdom simply by sharing their stories. There are vital lessons which can be learned from the events that make up an individual's life history, so i listen intently to all of them. One common thread among any old soul i speak to is the ultimate advice they give regarding life. The opinions on love, career, stress management and happiness all vary but one aspect of life that needs to be valued and looked after is always said to be your health. Perhaps it is because at a tender age it s...
