The distance between...
Who you say you are and what you actually do is where your truth lives.
Happy Sunday!
Five minutes each week to reset, reflect, and move forward with intention.
1 INSIGHT TO CONSIDER
Your actions are the only honest measure of your values.
We tell beautiful stories about who we are. We claim our priorities, declare our values, announce our intentions. But the truth isn’t in what we say - it’s in what we do. The gap between your words and your actions is where self-deception lives. You say family matters most, but work always comes first. You say health is a priority, but you never make time for it. You say you want to create, but you scroll instead. Close the gap, and you’ll find your integrity.
2 REFLECTIONS TO SIT WITH
Your calendar and your bank statement reveal your real priorities.
Who you are isn’t who you wish you were. It’s what you did today.
3 PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK
Where is there a gap between what I say matters and how I spend my time?

Until next week,
Chris
