You know the words you speak are very powerful, but actually they are what tells the truth. You can see people telling the right thing all the time. They will promise you, they will be loyal to you, praise you, flatter you, and they promise to always stand by you and care for you, but if their action doesn't match it is their word. It is time to start paying attention to them.
When you find out that someone's behavior shows they are not valuing you or they are not respecting you, It is not about trying to hold grudges for the other person or trying to dwell on the hurt or the wrong they did to you. It is about trying to recognize your worth and trying to move forward with your confidence.
So let's talk about why actions they say speak louder than words. And how to really navigate through this moment and get to find out the truth. So have you ever had someone telling you they will always be there for you, but when you need them in times of trouble or help, they are nowhere to be found. Or maybe you see someone claiming that they respect you so much, maybe your partner or your spouse, but their constant cancellation or disrespect towards you tells a different story.
Sometimes it is very easy to just get caught up with their words and hoping that they really mean what they say or they would act on what they say. But here is the fact, their actions reveal their true intentions.
If someone always ignores you, doesn't respect you, breaks their promise, and treats you like just an ordinary person, that is not a mistake. That is the real message there. And that message is about showing you their priorities, not their value. And you are not among them when it comes to their priorities.
So when you recognize that you are not among them, you realize what these things really mean. It can serve as a good empowering tool for you to know who cares about you and who does not care about you. So when you see someone's actions and you read them, you are free to make choices that honor all that goes according to your values and honors your worth.
Respect is not begged for. You cannot chase after people who don't see your value. You are wasting your time. They will still see your value. Instead, it is a sign to just redirect your energy. You have to keep surrounding yourself with those who truly deserve you.
Try your best to be useful and also surround yourself with people who are also useful to you. You are not here to convince anyone to see your value or respect you for who you are. You are here to live a bold life, a fearless life and be successful.
So this doesn't mean that you have to shut up or assume the worst. a good conversation can clarify things and people can change any other time. Even if they are respectful, they might change at any time and withdraw their respect. But if their actions consistently speak of disrespect, they may be able to make it worse for you. That is a true sign. Let go of that relationship. Just keep moving you backward. It is a friend calling you only when they are in need, or a colleague who will always take credit for your work. Letting go is not about giving up, it's about making space for the better ones in your life.
And here is the most inspiring and interesting part. When you start valuing yourself more than enough, and don't be afraid to walk away from people that don't value you, you open doors to good connections. You attract people who truly respect you for who you are, not just the words. But by doing it with action, by showing up, caring for you, or at least treating like you matter a lot.
So when someone's actions don't align with their words, please don't doubt yourself. See it, learn from it, and take the right step that will benefit you. Action is easier than words.
Tell yourself you are worth more than what others think about you.
