It appears that we are able to demonstrate to one another who we are being without even using words. We have all heard the saying actions speak louder than words or talk is cheap but what does that really mean? Being mindful of our words is important so they in and of themselves are not pointless. If that were the case we might as well walk around like we were in some sort of silent film. Aligning our actions and our words is what tells the real story. We run into trouble when our actions do not exemplify our words. In my experience part of this stems from not paying attention to what it is that we are saying to ourselves and others. How many of us would shudder if we heard how we spoke to ourselves or worse said it to a good friend? How often do we throw around jokes which are veils for anger and frustration because we do not want to be vulnerable and say how we really feel? We carry the energy of our truth within ourselves. Unless we are able to find a way to reconcile it between our hearts and our minds, we will exemplify either the opposite of what we intend or a mixed message. Both make us exemplify an untrustworthy person. It starts with getting clear within ourselves. Taking the time to notice what we are conveying in our words and our actions. We cannot control how others interpret what we are doing or saying but we can take ownership of what we exemplify.
