“You can’t talk yourself out of a problem you behave yourself into.”

~ Stephen Covey

Talk …

• To speak in order to give information or express ideas or feelings; converse or communicate by spoken words.

Problem …

• A matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.
• A thing that is difficult to achieve or accomplish.
• An inquiry starting from given conditions to investigate or demonstrate a fact, result, or law.
• A proposition in which something has to be constructed.

Behave …

• To act or conduct oneself in a specified way.
• To work or function in a specified way.

Words without correctly corresponding actions are empty, or meaningless at best, and counterproductive at worst.

The moral is to be, or strive to be, in perfect synchronicity — balance and harmony of body, mind, spirit; thought, word, and deed. Hence the well-known aphorism:  See no evil, Hear no evil, Speak no evil.
