From The Lip To The Hip Is A Pretty Far Distance

The purpose of "From the Lip to the Hip is a Pretty Far Distance" is to help each of us become people of our word and strive to minimize, as much as possible, the undesirable behavior of not doing what you say you are going to do. Jesus says in Matthew 5:37, in the Sermon on the Mount, "Let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No." Have you ever met someone who has never experienced having to deal with a person who told them that they were going to do something, and they never did what they said they were going to do? I doubt that you have because every single one of us has unfortunately had that happen to them. Even worse, every single one of us has done it to another, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Saying that you are going to do something and never doing it is a universal issue. It is part of human nature. I recorded Episode 159 "From the Lip to the Hip is a Pretty Far Distance" as the first show in a series exploring why people don't do what they say they are going to do. I invited as my guests for each show, people whom I greatly respect and admire to share their wisdom and insights on the subject. They are a very diverse group, offering many very different perspectives on the theme of the book. The interviews in the book that I did with my eleven guests in this series, were so powerful that I decided to use the transcripts from the shows for what ultimately became this book that you are about to read. Three and a half years ago, when I first launched Right Thinking with Steve Coplon, Don sent me a copy of "Napoleon Hill is on the Air." It is a book that contains transcripts from a series of radio broadcasts that Napoleon Hill did in Jackson, Mississippi in 1953. The editor of that book states that "It allows you, the reader, to experience almost verbatim what Napoleon shared directly with his listeners." I have followed in Napoleon Hill's footsteps as I have kept the edited transcripts of my shows as close to the actual broadcasts as possible. Through the process of converting the transcripts to the chapters of "From the Lip to the Hip is a Pretty Far Distance," I have learned a tremendous amount about the difference between conversational dialogue and the written word. I wish to thank Randey and Cindyrae Faulkner for volunteering to edit the transcripts line by line as a gift of love because they wanted this book to be made available to each of you, the readers. I could not have completed this book without the incredible assistance of Sofia Giannascoli. She has been a God sent. I would like to thank my wife, Donna, for being with me every step along the way, as she gave me the love and support that I needed to write this book as well as provided countless hours of proofing and editing. To each of my guests, thank you for sharing your wisdom and caring so much about other people. It is my heartfelt hope and prayer that "From the Lip to the Hip is a Pretty Far Distance" will transform your life as it has mine and help everyone who reads it to a better life.
