Actions Say It All

Hello Readers,

Repeated actions are what shape our character and reputation. If someone says they want to spend time with you, but repeatedly fail to turn up, they are communicating that they are not willing to follow through on their promises. It’s all very well to be understanding and compassionate, but at what point is it right to give the benefit of the doubt and when to withhold it? When someone says they are trustworthy but repeatedly lies even about the smallest of things, they are communicating that they cannot be relied on and that their words cannot be trusted. It’s the same as when someone repeatedly tells you that they want to change but fails to make an effort, they are communicating that they are unwilling to do things differently. Life is too short to be around someone that says they love you, but doesn’t show it. In the same vein you can tell someone as many times as you like how much you love them, but until your actions and behaviour coincides with that, eventually the person you are bleating your love to will start to lose faith, thus putting the relationship at risk. Anyone can promise someone the earth and their undying love, but the experience and importance of these emotions will not be felt until they are acted upon. Promises are worthless if they are broken. People lie all the time. They lie to keep their secrets safe, they lie for the sake of lying and many actually believe their lies to be true. They lie to appease others. They say things just to impress. They make false promises and then make flowery excuses to justify why they could not fulfil their promises and if you believe their lies, you will believe just about anything. You can only learn about a person’s true character by watching their behaviour towards you and towards others because how they treat others is how they will treat you, without exception. The power of action over words is phenomenal. People may not always tell you how they feel about you, but sooner or later, they will always show you. We can apologise over and over again, but if our actions don’t change, our words become meaningless. Lips and tongues lie, but actions never do. No matter what words are spoken, actions betray the truth of everyone’s heart. People will judge you by your actions, not your intentions. You may have a heart of gold, but so does a boiled egg.

Until Next Week

Love and Light,
