"When deeds and words are in accord, the whole world is transformed."
Chuang Tzu (c.360 BC – c. 275 BC)Source: The Book of Chuang Tzu (Arkana S.), Page: 101
Leaving a positive impact in the world begins with personal transformation. Right action, right speech, and right intention every minute of every day. This is the modern-day "transparency" that the media touts. Being who you say you are and doing what you say you will do- when "words and deeds are in accord".
When we are out of integrity, our words and deeds don’t match. We are incongruent. And, on an energetic level, people can tell. Have you ever met someone at a cocktail party and left with the feeling that something wasn’t just quite right? I call it failing my "skin-crawl test". These are people who we can sense have something to hide. Their words and deeds don’t match up quite right.
But when you operate with transparency, with integrity, in alignment, people intuitively sense it. They will want to be near you. They will want to support you. Doors will begin opening. Personal transformation happens. And it feels incredible.
Make up your mind that just for today your words and deeds will be in accord and you will be in integrity. Then do it again tomorrow. And the next day, and the next day.
What do you have to lose? Nothing but bad karma.
