“Words seldom carry promise; actions deliver promise.”
Let your actions speak your truth. Honesty is a direct reflection of your inner character - your actions are your voice, the steps you take your words, and your passion is your tone. Words are revered for they communicate; the tone through which they are delivered reveals the passion behind them. Yet this passion must be translated into action…that is where the truth is revealed.
If you feel your truth has been slacking, here are a few ways to bring the practice of honesty back into your daily life:
- Own and honor your feelings. Is there something (maybe a job or someone in your life) that just does not feel right? Are you being true to yourself by staying with that something or someone?
- Offer constructive feedback. Disclaimer: Offer your feedback, but be sensitive to the feelings of others, and most importantly, speak in the spirit of love.
- Forgive yourself and show compassion for others.
- Take responsibility for your actions. Be truthful and own up to situations instead of making excuses or blaming others.
- Be truly authentic. Check yourself as you go through your day, and let go of the masks that hide you from being the unique and beautiful person you are.
