Listen to your words when you talk to people and yourself.
Do you make promises that you then do not keep?
Review at night, think about the day that has just past...
Were you selfish, dishonest, frightened?
Did you put anyone down?
Even in your mind?
Did you tell someone you would do something and then not do it?
Was your day all about your pursuit of personal gain?
Become conscious of this, and your life will change dramatically. I know as I do this daily, and as a result of paying attention to myself, I also notice others who tell me they are going to do things for me and then don't show up.
I know longer remind them - because I recognize them as untrustworthy. If they do not pay attention to what they promise, I do not want to be involved with them. It really cuts out a lot of drama in my life. And I recognize that for myself, my Word is all that I have, to Give and to Keep.
Blessed Be.
