    A few months ago, author, pastor (and my homeboy) Jim Henderson educated me on the difference between orthoDOXY and orthoPRAXY:

    The word orthodoxy comes from the Greek ortho ('correct') and doxa ('thought').

    The correct thoughts.

    The word orthopraxy comes from the Greek ortho ('correct') and proxis ('action').

    The correct actions.

    Traditionally, these two words are used in a religious context.

    Of course, that’s not what I’m talking about.

    This is about business. About relationships. About life.

    SO HERE’S THE QUESTION: What’s better: having the correct thoughts, or the correct actions?

    It seems to me that theory, information, thoughts, ideas, blah blah blah, are all vital things; but without action, they don’t amount to much.

    AFTER ALL:

    People DON’T give you credit for what they HEAR you SAY consistently.

    People ONLY give you credit for what they SEE you DO consistently.

    Ultimately, orthopraxy means that instead of practicing what you preach, you’re preaching what you practice.

    In the words of the aforementioned Jim Henderson:

    “Action changes everything … so, major in practices and minor in principles. Practices are attitudes that translate directly into actions. In fact, they often start in the opposite direction. We start practicing the practice even before we understand or perhaps believe it, which often leads to surprising changes in us (and our relationships with people) we normally wouldn’t known how to relate to.”

    LESSONS LEARNED: action is eloquence. Action is character.

    DO something first, THEN tell people about.
    DO something first, THEN tell people what you learned.
    DO something first, THEN encourage people to do the same.

    Orthopraxy, not orthodoxy.
