Good Morning All – I hope you had an amazing weekend! As always, I like to start the week off right with some words of motivation or inspiration:
“What you ARE speaks so loud I can't hear what you SAY.” - Adapted from Ralph Waldo Emerson
Some of us spend a decent amount of time thinking about what we say about ourselves.
We say we are: Hardworking. Dependable. Honest. Disciplined. Positive. Loyal. Patient. Ambitious…
We tell ourselves what kind of person we are, what we believe in and what we’re going to do — but do our words align with our behaviour?
Who we really are isn’t what we say — it’s in how we behave - how we act.
It’s easy to say we value our health.
It’s easy to say we value family.
It’s easy to say we value relationships.
It’s easy to say we are dependable, ethical, honest….
But are we actually living it ? - that’s where things get a little more uncomfortable.
If we say our health matters, do our habits reflect that?
If we say our family matters, are we giving them our time and attention?
If we say our relationships matter, are we putting effort into them, or only noticing them when something goes wrong?
If we say we’re dependable, do we follow through when we say we will?
If we say we’re honest and ethical, do those values remain intact when doing the right thing becomes inconvenient?
Of course none of us are perfect — we all have areas where our intentions are better than our execution. But it’s important to recognize our gaps, and where we fall short.
Once we see our gaps — we become aware of what we can improve on. No guilt — no self-recrimination - just noticing some ways we can be better.
So this week, let’s ask ourselves:
Do my actions reflect the person I say I am — and the person I want to become?
If there’s an area where the answer is no, it doesnt make sense to beat ourselves up over it — lets notice what we can improve on — and moving forward — let’s start closing the gap
One decision. One habit. One action at a time.
Have a great week!
Sincerely,
