Consider today the following excerpt is from Increasing Your Personal Impact by Dan Webster, pp. 59-60.
"I believe that there is a huge difference between a mouth that speaks and a life that speaks. Modeling recognizes that to make an impact we must put on display the life we're inviting others to live. Behavioral scientists say that at least 60% of all we learn is caught by watching others. In church people talk, but in real life people watch. Major breaches of integrity between what we say and how we live only weaken our ability to impact another. So let me ask you...as people watch your life, what do they see? If they walked with you for one week--if they were 'with' you...what would they say matters to you? What truths are you illustrating by how you invest your time and resources? Is there a balance between your words and your life."
