It is fine to talk the talk...

but at the end of the day, if you didn't walk the walk, what have you really achieved intrinsically. What we say and do may sound good and even help others, but if we really just preach without practicing what we preach we are not really true to ourselves.  I have so much to say about life and living and try to be real careful, especially when talking about beliefs and principles, that I follow them in practice.
