It was character that got us out of bed, commitment that moved us into action, and discipline that enabled us to follow through.

Disciplined move
It is not discipline in movement
Not smartly dressed with fragrance smelt
Not moved in lines as disciplined solders
But seen in line with younger and elders
It is way of life and to fall in line
Everything else should ob on sideline
If needs some improvement or correction
It must be done then and there with action
It is not mere word to be followed
Some concrete action should also be followed
You can not under value or over rate
Else it may seal permanently our fate
That has great impact on personal character
Everybody is important in his life as actor
The decision taken by him is as per ethics
This is one of the important aspect and basic
We are merely guided by divine wish
It has to be met with fine finish
It is certain for us to disintegrate and perish
Chance to remain permanent always diminish
God has everything for all the human beings
That is why some body is poor is somebody a king
We are all to obey His dictates and preaching
It is always in form of advices and teaching

It is tragic that the Fuehrer should have the whole nation behind him with the single exception of the Army generals. In my opinion it is only by action that they can now atone for their faults of lack of character and discipline.

Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.

Every Breath We Breathe!
a part...
of the movement,
one grain of sand
on a limitless beach.
one dropp of water,
in an ocean filled with life.
commitment = action = change!
love = action = human!
compassion = action = feeding!
every breath we breathe,
shared!

I played this character twice in live action, and now I've become an animated character. It was actually fun to see myself drawn - I've never been a drawn character before.

All action is for the sake of some end; and rules of action, it seems natural to suppose, must take their whole character and color from the end to which they are subservient.

The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome. De Tocqueville points out that it is at times when passions start to govern human affairs that ideas are most obviously translated into political action. The translation of ideas into action is usually in the hands of people least likely to follow rational motives. Hence, it is that action is often the nemesis of ideas, and sometimes of the men who formulate them. One of the marks of the truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action - the ability to pass directly from thought to action.

Commitment in the face of conflict produces character.
The Man Standing In The Mirror
The smile returned upon it greeting,
The word exchanged upon it's meeting.
Spiritual gifts versus, the meeting of the minds.
Which do I try to control more?
My disposition, or another's position?
Which do I consider more?
I have the choice to choose.
Do I choose wisely?
I do not know best.
Though father does.
Yet I follow my heart,
I do not follow His teachings.
Then everything falls apart.
On the treadmill,
No closer to the destination.
'Why have you forsaken me? ' I ask.
But who made the choice?
Cheating at the game of life.
The rule book is not there to control,
But to teach me of self control.
Yet it's another's control I seek.
Constant despair.
Faith will move a mountain.
I am the mountain.
The faith moved me.
Moved me to action.
For it was very small inside.
But as I sought, I grew.
It also grew.
Others are my true reflection.
To find the reflection I seek,
I must first look inward.
To change the man that stands in front of the mirror.

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.
