After awhile you realize that putting your actions where your mouth is makes you less likely to have to put your money where your mouth is.

Many of us fight for and boast our freedom of what is ultimately the ability to prove ourselves to other people. It is unfortunate that only a few of us are so free in our joy, we no longer feel the need to prove ourselves to anyone.
