And that's not a man.

A man takes responsibility and ownership of what he is responsible for.

Going back to the first characteristic that I mentioned, rooted in value and belief,

There's this thing that I talked about in my book, Go On More.

It's called the value action gap that I find really interesting.

And I think a lot of people struggle with the value action gap.

And I'll be honest, in previous seasons of my life, I have struggled with this as well.

So I'm not standing on top of this tower saying I've

never missed or failed, and I still don't make mistakes.

I still make mistakes.

I still fail.

I still sin.

I'm human.

But the value action gap is the inconsistency between a person's stated values or beliefs and their actual behaviors.

We want to close the value action gap.

People say they value one thing, they believe in one thing, and then their actions reflect otherwise.

That's a problem.

If you say you believe in one thing and you value one thing, but then your actions say otherwise, you can't be trusted with anything because you don't even know what you believe in.

You don't even know what you value because your actions say the complete opposite.

I think for many of us, our goal should be to close the value action gap so that our actions reflect what we actually believe in and what we value.
