A quote I was thinking about today is the following by Mark Sanborn:"Integrity is measured by the distance between your lips and your life."
In a world filled where most of us speak with empty promises and hollow words, "walking your talk" stands as a pillar of true character. It's about aligning your actions with your words, living by the values you claim to espouse, and setting an example through your behavior. When you walk your talk, you build trust and credibility—not just with others, but most importantly with yourself. It means taking responsibility, being consistent, and showing up as the person you claim to be. Remember, actions speak louder than words. The impact you make comes not from what you say, but from what you do.
It's not as easy to do of course. Our social media accounts are brimming with images of more beautiful, richer, more successful people, which naturally triggers the need to compare. Inevitably most of us do not even remotely measure up to those, sometimes unreachable, standards. Bear in mind though, the world needs you to be you, not the replica of another human being,however richer or more successful than you.Instead,explore your talents, sharpen your skills, work on yourself and dare to put yourself out there. It is easy to compare and succumb to jealousy. I know from experience, it is easy to make excuses and break your promises to others and yourself. But at what cost?
Being authentically you, keeping your promises and integrity takes work and tenacity,yes. But the reward of internal peace and pride towards yourself is something too invaluable to replace by petty feelings and void promises. Be brave, be vulnerable and turn yourself into someone you can truly look up to.
With love,
Lia
p.s. It's Friday, so I decided to share my Friday playlist with you. It's loaded with songs that make me feel good whenever my mood goes sour or if I'm just unmotivated.It's a weird mix and match but I hope you'll like it!
