The Proof is in the Putting

No. This is not about golf!

I know. Everyone says, "The Proof is in the Pudding."

But I needed a way to wrap-up the motivational speech I advertise on my coal miner website,
http://www.minewisdom.com that last week attracted a unique audience.

The audience included unemployed and under-employed professionals who came to hear me explain how "How I Found Gold in a Coal Mine" and how they could too.

In practicing this speech, I kept wondering if these people would really put into practice some of the ideas I was sharing with them.

Then, isnspiration, or maybe desperation, struck.

I started playing with the idea of "putting some of these ideas to work" and, somehow, continued to return to the phrase, "The Proof is in the Pudding."

And with a little twist, I came up with the following:

The Proof is in the "Putting"

Are you going to put your money where your mouth is
Or are you going to put your foot in your mouth?

Are you going to put your foot down on fear and procrastination
Or are you going to put your feet up and let success come to you?

And are you going to put your best foot forward?
Or are you just putting on the Ritz?

Are you going to try to put your finger on it
Or are you going to put your whole heart into it?

Are you going to put all your ducks in a row and
All you eggs in one basket before you put it all together?

Are you going to put off until tomorrow
What you should be putting into action today?

Are you putting fourth your best effort or
Putting first your best effort?

Are you going to put some of these ideas to work for you
Or are you going to put them on the back burner?

The Proof is in the Putting
And the Putting is up to you.
Success in not in wishing,
It's found in what you do.
