Do your Words Align with your Actions?

The old saying holds firm; "Actions speak louder than words".
Something I've become increasingly more aware of has been the disconnect between people's words and actions. Somewhere, it's been lost on us and I REALLY think we need to strive to bring this back, in various facets of life.
In health, we can TALK about doing something all we want - Only ACTIONS will create change.
We can talk about "the type of person we are" - Only ACTIONS will show our true colours.
In life, we can TALK about how "good we are" at something or "how much someone means to us" - Yet only ACTION will prove it (to ourselves and others).
It's everywhere today;
...To the banker who tells you "no problem for this loan"...
...To the customer service rep who tells you "they 'care about you' as their customer"...
...To the athlete who comes to tryouts and tells you how amazing they are in their sport...
...To the server who says "I'll be right back with your drink"
WORDS and ACTIONS are NOT aligning.
The point?
Let your ACTIONS speak for themselves!
-Want to be healthier, resilient and energetic; Take care of yourself everyday... instead of talking about it.
-Want to have more time for yourself in your weeks; Schedule it and make that time yours... instead of talking about it
-Want to prove yourself to a sports coach and your teammates; show them your play, work ethic and attitude on the court, field or ice ... instead of talking about it.
-Want to heal from a discomfort, injury or pain you're experiencing; try something to help it and/or hire professional help to guide you... instead of talking about it.
-Want to show your customers you/your company cares; show them... instead of talking about it.
