Integrity

Our words and our behaviors must be aligned for us to have integrity. How often do my words not match my actions? Do I walk my talk? Do I struggle with following through with what I promise? Integrity is what I am made up of. It is what others see and experience of me. It's not so much what I think about myself, but what I live out that really matters. My life, actions, and words are reflections of my core values and heart. Do I need to align my actions to fit my words? or do I need to align my words to fit my actions? Maybe, both words and actions are not reflective of who you want to be, and a reevaluation of your life, goals, values is necessary. 
Whatever it is, you can take action today and make the necessary adjustments. Share it with someone that can help you get back on course. Hold yourself accountable. Make a simple, measurable plan for today and stick to it. Big changes in life start with the small day-to-day choices and actions. All the small changes add up to a big change in time. 
  Aligning our actions with our words brings with it the experience of freedom and a sense of peace. When there are no broken promises to distract us, we live cleanly and truthfully.
