One of life’s little truths and wisdoms we have come to learn, is that a person’s actions will always speak louder than their words.
While most of us have experienced the conflict of what someone professes about themselves and how they act towards us, there are times we, ourselves, get caught up in our own conflicts of what we believe about who we are and how we treat others.
The little nugget of truth we must remember is that we do not need to tell someone what we believe or what our values are if they are in line with our actions. People can not see your beliefs or values. What they see are your actions. Your actions will ultimately tell them what your values are.
If someone says they care for you but are constantly treating you poorly, or never do anything to help you when you need them the most, their actions do not line up with what they are telling you.
If you are an honest person, people will see your honest actions and know you are honest. If you believe in mercy and justice, and show compassion and fairness to others, people will know that you are merciful and just. You won’t have to tell them.
Likewise, if you exhibit actions of impatience and rudeness, and are unwilling to go out of your way to be thoughtful, you can shout as loud as you can that you are a kind person, but your actions will tell another story. The hypocrisy and the contradictions between what you say and what you do will be a glaring truth to those who come in contact with you. It’s hard to profess that you are a kind person if you act like a rude person.
So remember, actions do speak louder than words. If you strive to be a kind person, be kind. If you say you are a helpful person, be helpful. If you say you are a caring person, be caring. Act in a manner that reflects what you truly value and others will value your actions.
