None Of It Means JACK!!
There are so many people looking to change their lives.
Are you one of them?
Do you scour the earth looking for “the way,” to change your life, reading different sources of information?
None Of It Means JACK!!
Have you read the bible, read the Qur’an, read the Torah, and any other religious text searching for the meaning of life?
Or perhaps you’ve used the internet.
With the internet there is no shortage of advice.
I bet you’ve looked for advice from Deepak Chopra, Wayne Dyer, and maybe even Oprah.
There are countless websites where you can learn to be a better blogger, be a better lover, and lose weight fast. You can even find the secret to success by following 12 steps that have never been revealed before. Have you been there, done that?
Have you been told to meditate, eat right, exercise, and endless other techniques that are sure to enrich your life?
I’m sure you’ve been told to dream big and never give up, change your habits and everything with fall into place. Have faith!
Well, you wanna know something?

You can read all you want. Believe in any dream. Get on your knees and pray to the Gods. You can have the faith of Job.
But, if you do not act on anything you’ve read or learned, you ain’t changing nothing.
Faith is an action word.
I’ve witnessed too many people who have read material and who have taken numerous courses in their lives and still haven’t achieved what they wanted. Why? Well, because all that material is meant to only be a foundation.
Reading up on things is great because you then become aware of different kinds of principles. But, you never truly know something until you experience it first hand.
Use a child as an example. You can tell a child not to touch something hot because it will burn them. But, the child will not truly know what that concept means until he touches the hot object and gets burned. Then it becomes more than conceptual knowledge.
You can’t just sit around with all that you’ve read and never apply it.
Even if the revelations you received were from going within, through the use of prayer and meditation, you cannot just sit around and use the “faith” card.
Too many people go around claiming, “I have faith.” But the true process of faith is receiving the message (yes, you will be healed, but cut sugar out from your diet) and then applying what you have heard or learned.
You have to choose to go in the direction of your dreams, healing, or change. Not just idly stand by.
And all it takes is one step.
Take a look at the video below. I’m sure some of you will recognize it. Listen to the lyrics, which I’ve provided below the video, and see if it helps you understand that all you need to do is take a step forward to begin the process of change.

Yep. You’re right! Faith without action isn’t faith.
Yeah, unfortunately many people think faith just means believing it will miraculously happen.
Faith takes work — At least I think so….
Most definitely. 😀Joe
Exactly, believe and kepp moving toward your goal! Great post!
