You talk, you Walk...

"You walk, you talk".. That was my co-After School teacher's favorite line. I used to crack up laughing every time she said it. We had some kids with mouths like adults. They would cuss us out and try to play us against each other every single day. Their fave lines were, " I don't like Ms.Neka( saying that to the other teacher) and "Ms.M make me sick( saying that to me).

Hmmmm, these kids were no older than 12 and were already learning the playing field of back biting. Were these the actions of their parents, aunts, cousins and friends? Or, were they truly just acting out because they "thought" the other teacher and I truly didn't see eye to eye? And AHA... it hit me..

There are adults just like this. They can be found doing alot of talking and as soon as the opportunity presents it self to set clarity, they WALK.. And their steps aren't slow either!! They are hauling with quick speed.

Trouble seemingly does not just randomly find you.. Sometimes, we walk right into it. Whether it be speaking without thinking, sharing false truths or just co-signing MESS, we walk right smack into it. I can recall a certain situation where I was always tested. And because the person didn't either have enough Faith in US or No faith in ME, I walked. Which ultimately turned out to be the best thing because me talking doesn't always end to well( God is still perfecting my tongue because sometimes its truly a lethal weapon)...

Sometimes when we talk, the thoughts aren't completely thought out and the wrong things are said. I've said more wrong than right, whew so thankful for second chances. I've learned to stand by what I say though. It has been a hard lesson and pill at times but if you're grown enough to say it, stand by it.

If you find yourself constantly talking about someone.. WALK
If you find yourself constantly in situations that end up wrong.. WALK
If you find yourself in a dead END anything.. WALK
If you find yourself ready to swing, YEA, I'mma need 4 u 2.. WALK
If you find yourself doing something you know is wrong..WALK

Sometimes, the best thing we can ever do for ourselves is to walk. When we choose to walk, ultimately, it ends up being the best decision ever. Just think, if I would've kept listening to people TALK, I would've never WALKED into my rightful place as Employer and not an Employee.

The race isn't always given to the one with the swiftest tongue or thought, it's sometimes set up and away for the one with enough sense...

If it's wrong.. don't talk about it, WALK up out of it
