Are You Living Your Truth?

What do you value?
Is this how you live?
Where you say one thing and do another, you lose integrity.
Where you value something, but ignore it in daily life, you lose confidence.
Where you believe but do not live, you lose energy.

Living our values consistently, openly and authentically gives us power, confidence and certainty.
Where we live in integrity with what we believe, we are fearless and formidable.
Where we function honoring our highest truths, life is fun, safe and easy.

Where we dismiss and ignore our true values, we cause doubt, depression, sickness and despair.
My guideline is that when I am upset for any reason, I am off purpose. I am not living my values.

Guidelines for this new year and ever new moment.
Clarify your values. They change, so ask again.
Find the top three values for you by comparing them.
Do I value more travel or security?
Do I value more family or money?
Do I value more spiritual Truth or harmony?
The biggest areas of ego/spirit conflict seem to be God or money?.... Another’s happiness or my own?

Assess your integrity.
Note how you spend your time, energy and money.
Are you living what you say you value?
Do you spend your time and your money on what really matters to you?
Do you spend your mental and emotional energy on what has heart and meaning for you?
Do you value family pain and problems? Or do you value family harmony and happiness?
To what do you give your attention, conversation, support and effort?
Do you value your health and wellbeing or your physical problems and disabilities?
Where do you focus your thoughts, spending and conversation?

Forgive your dishonesty, lack of commitment, unconsciousness and choose again.
It takes courage to be wholly responsible for your life. It takes courage to be honest with yourself.
Once you are aware of where you are living a lie, you can correct it by choosing the truth.
What we value shows up in our lives.
What we value is where we place our attention….our time, money and energy.
What we value is our gift to ourselves.
If you don’t like the gifts you are receiving, check out your integrity and your values.
