Behind the communication

Have you realized that the action sometimes are different from the talk?

My father has always recommended us to have a stable job and have a stable life. He on the other hand always go for the adventures including move to 2 different countries in his life time. It seems that his action and his talk are 2 completely different story.

Recently, I read the book, frogs into princes. I realize that action belongs to the subconscious territory while talk sometimes belong to the conscious territory. My wife was joking that both my sister and I are influenced by his talk rather than by his action. Oh, my wife wasn't kidding about it.

As I grow older, I realize that if I ever want to give back to my parents. I better observe their need based on the action so I can give back with full confidence that I give my best shot.

The funny thing is that I always thought that it's weird that my father isn't consistent between his talking and his action. I always thought that everyone should be consistent between their talking and their action. I was wrong because I wasn't consistent myself, too.

Why do I say that? My wife ask me that if our child grow up and he wants to go a career that it's easy to get a job such as art, what will I do? I told her that as long as the child shows the talent and I would agree with it. When I look back at my history, I sometimes just do it without knowing whether I have the talents for it. I have to admit that my talking and my action sometimes are different.

In Anthony Robbin's tape, he mentioned that it's better to be congruent between the talk and the action. I totally agree. He believe that it gives power to yourself. I want to gain these powers to I can provide immense value to my parents, my wife and my child.
