Let your actions define you, not your words!

Your boss constantly says, “I care about you,” but when it comes to making simple adjustments to make your professional life easier, s/he doesn’t do it.

Your colleague says, “I am here to support you,” but you cannot find any support when you need it.

Your parents say, “I love you,” but they don’t care about what you really want to do with your life.

Your partner says, “You are the most important person in my life,” but s/he doesn’t support your dreams.

Your friend says, “You are one of my best friends,” but when you share some great news about your life, s/he cannot be happy for you.

Even the customer service team says, “We are here to support you,” but when you ask a simple question about the service that they provide, it takes ages to hear a meaningful response.

Have you experienced anything like this in your own life?

I know you do. I do, as well. And it hurts. I don’t think anyone from whom you don’t have any expectations can hurt you. But, when you build some expectations from people in your life based on their words, it can hurt a lot.

So, what should we do? Honestly, I don’t know. Do you have any suggestions?

The only thing that I know is that I don’t care about what people say or their intentions; I ONLY care about their actions. Only actions can speak honestly, not the words, not the intentions.

You are not who you say you are; you are the collection of your actions.
