9 Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11 Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. (Romans 12:9-11 NIV)

Both our professional and personal lives should be about acting. Doing something to move forward, to act and not sit passively by.

To be passive for a time is fine, but we are meant to be creatures of actions, and our actions should speak louder than our words.

As we roll into this new year, motion should be our primary concern. Whether moving forward toward new goals for the year or simply getting things done and not allowing them to sit.

Full bellies do not plough fields.
