When you believe in a thing, believe in it all the way, implicitly and unquestionably. -Walt Disney
I love this quote, not only because one of my favorite role models mentioned it, but also because it's true. Not many people are willing to see this through nowadays - we're more worried about treading on toes or being politically correct. What would happen if, for one week, people stepped out of their boxes and actually said what they thought? I'm not saying by any means to go about this in an obnoxious, forceful way - I mean the opposite. I wonder why we can't seem to connect belief and kindness, though. Why is this? Either we're loving to the point of absolute silence (which isn't really loving, as it turns out), or we're outspoken about our beliefs to the point of rudeness. In a way, connecting the two is just as much of an art as painting or performing. Everything has to match up - if the heart is wrong, the outlook will be wrong. If the the outlook is wrong, the impression and reaction will be wrong. So just think: if we're able to reverse this common mistake, how much will it change? It all starts with belief, and once that's in place you'll find the way to do it.
