Muir’s Morning Motivational Minute

‘Well done is better than well said.’

I grew up in a household where my parents had a ‘saying’ for seemingly every life situation. It was quite an education in itself just listening to the common sense comments they dispensed daily. When I saw this quote it reminded me of a couple of lines my late mother Geraldine tossed out regularly. One of her favorites was ‘action always speaks louder than words,’ which is another play on ‘well done is better than well said.’

But, the line from her that I remember most (50-plus years later) spelled out the difference between talk and action. ‘Talk is cheap, but it takes money to buy groceries.’ In other words, anybody can talk but it’s going to take some action to put food on the table. Does action speak louder than words? The answer to that question is a resounding ‘ALWAYS!’

Or, as one elderly gentleman I knew many years ago said: ‘If you walk the walk … talk ain’t necessary.’

God bless you on this day and my prayers is that you have a ‘well done’ day! Have a great Monday and a blessed day!
