Do you ever come across people who say something or stand for something or believe in something, but then, for example, do something or engage in something or someone who stands in direct contradiction with those beliefs or ethics or standards?
How can people trust you if you try to stand on both sides of the fence or speak out of both sides of your mouth?
How can they trust your words if your actions are completely opposite?
What can they believe in about you then?
How can they understand you if your words and actions aren’t in alignment? Don’t you think that would be confusing to them?
Don’t be a people-pleaser.
Stand for something.
Say exactly what you mean and stop beating around the bush and trying to be diplomatic and politically correct. It’s tiresome already!
You just ain’t gonna be able to please all of the people all of the time. The best thing you can do is have the courage and confidence to focus on only those people and ideas and beliefs that are in alignment with who you are and what you really think. When those things are consistent and congruent in all your actions, words and associations is when you will engender true trust and loyalty.
Thanks for commenting. Yeah, the virtual assistant term is really completely idiotic to...
