Intentions, without actions, are not good enough

Actions Prove Who You Are; Words Just Prove Who You Want To Be

Both my words and actions help define me. However, my actions are more important because words are hollow if I cannot back them up with action. My credibility is enhanced when what I do matches what I say. I enjoy peace of mind and a simplified life when I back up my words with actions. I earn the trust of others, and people know they can depend on me. When I say I am going to attend a committee meeting, I show up on time and contribute my full attention. I am especially careful when I know that others are relying on my promises. I want to avoid harming anyone, even inadvertently.


How can you become more intentional:

1. Follow through with what you say. You'll become a better role model for your children. They are more likely to follow your advice if they see you applying it to your own life.
2. Ensure that you think before you speak. Consider your limits and choose your words carefully. It's the only way you can live up to your word.
3. Most of all, strive to be authentic. Being true to your core values helps your thoughts, speech, and actions flow smoothly in the direction that you want.

Individual decisions become easier when your guiding principles are already firmly established in your mind. If you are ever unable to follow through on what you have said for some unavoidable reason, apologize and work to make amends.

Let your actions speak for themselves. You are only as good as your word.
