Action Reveals Priority

8/23/2018

 
Every conscious action that you do gives the rest of the world information about you. Every action the person next to you does tells you something about them. I’m not saying what is good or bad information. I just want you to understand that the conscious actions that you have justified to yourself tell others about who you are. We give people information about ourselves in two different ways. We tell other people about us with our words and we tell them about us with our actions. Sometimes we tell someone something with our words that goes directly against what we are telling them with our actions. At this point the other person is getting mixed messages and it is up to them to decide which information they will accept and which they will reject. 
Action Reveals Priority
            Talk is cheap, watch people. Subjective values are found in action only. If someone is holding a glass of water while they tell you "I would never hold a glass of water". It is safe to conclude that at that moment, in that circumstance the person subjectively valued water, regardless of what they tell you. The action revealed the priority. This was important because I instantly realized that I was a total hypocrite. Constantly I would say one thing and do another. While smoking I would say "I'm going to quit smoking". I did quit smoking years later but when I did I didn't have to tell anyone, they knew because I wasn't smoking anymore. Action reveals priority at that moment in those circumstances and has nothing to do with desires or intentions or morals. It simply tells you what the priority is every time without fail regardless and it doesn't ask for excuses.
            This removed my ability to deceive myself. It also made it difficult for others to deceive me, because I never believe any ones words. The actions speak louder. Not a new concept but it had never really hit home.  Instead of telling myself and others things a just owned it. The point is that everyone is showing what they subjectively value every minute of every day with their actions. So what is the most important thing in your life. Whatever you do, whatever takes up your time, energy and money. Economics is a democracy. Everyone votes with dollars. What did you vote for today? Is your priority what you tell yourself and others?

    Note

    I was an Alcoholic
    This blog contains many of the ideas that helped me to get sober and stay sober. 

    ​Everything in Italics is me now, commenting on the writing from 10 years ago. Everything not in Italics is the 8 year old writing. In some ways I am the same but in others very different that is what make it interesting.
