Walking Versus Talking

Are you a 'walker' or a 'talker'? Do you just talk of change, and constantly complain of the problems our world faces whilst all the while knowing that you will surely do nothing about it. Instead you wait out your lonely days at home, sitting around waiting, waiting for someone else to stand up and do something about it. Someone who actually cares. Someone who wakes up at the crack of dawn, takes a shower, gets dressed, brushes off the pain, and goes. Who goes out on the street on protests, who talks to people, and who genuinely wants to get the ball rolling in the right direction. Because while you complain about the direction the world is headed, while you question what our next generation will have to suffer through, you do nothing. Instead you live out your life caring about no one except yourself. Your greedy, self-centered, and unoptimistic self. So what is a 'walker' and what is 'talker'. A talker, is a person who only talks of change, and relies upon the motivation of others to get up and do something issues facing the world. A walker however, is someone that knows there is no one better than themselves to affect change in the world. Before I go, imagine this. You go into your local coffee shop, and order your long complicated drink, and of course, the barista messes it up. So let me ask you this. Do you think that when the barista makes his/her own coffee that they screw it up? No! They know exactly what they want, and even if they have to experiment a bit, maybe even retry a couple times. they will get exactly what they want. So why do you need someone else to make your coffee for you? Why not instead just make your own coffee? I mean, you know what you want don't you? So just make it happen, figure out the steps later. Because we don't accomplish anything by waiting for an invitation, we accomplish things by just taking the first step, the hardest step. The steps that follow will appear along the way, trust me, but for now, just take the first step. So, what is your first step?
