50 Fiery Quotes About Walking The Walk And Talking The Talk

I was chilling on my couch last night, eating the best Snickers I’ve ever had in my laugh, pondering how some people talk up a storm while others just quietly crush it.

That push and pull between walking the walk and talking the talk has been buzzing in my head, so may these quotes speak to you how they speak to me.

Grit Over Gab

I’ve always vibed with folks who let their hustle scream louder than their voice. Words can tease, but the action is where the real heat kicks in. I don’t want to hear what you can do, I want to see what you are doing. Maybe you have been a talker, don’t be ashamed. Now, start walking as you should have been doing in the first place.

Talk is cheap

I’ve been burned by empty words too many times, so now I lean on the ones who show up solid. Have you ever had someone who you were relying on who proved themselves to be unreliable?

I want to not only see them building but feel the seriousness and the passion about them. That type of person around you is inspiring to your own soul. You should strive for this as well.
