Belief - Action = Zip

When people meet for the first time a common question is, “What do you do?” 

Why is this? What is this question for? What is trying to be established? I think it’s a pretty good question because it ultimately answers a deeper question. The deeper question of who we are. 

Our vocation doesn’t define us, but what we “do” does. This idea applies to groups as well. A group’s culture is not a set of common beliefs, it’s a set of common behaviors. Beliefs alone don’t establish anything. Common belief is empty without common action. The two choices are integrity or hypocrisy. What we do is in fact who we are.

What do you do?
