Spiritual freedom is my birthright. I am a free thinker. I am able to rise above mentalprejudices and stereotypes of others. I am a free thinker. Nobody and nothing can manipulateme or deceive me. I am a free thinker. I freely choose truth and love. Today, I embrace a greater degree of spiritualfreedom.

June 2, 2008Aligning Actions And WordsActions Speak Louder Than Words Words carry a lot of weight in this world, from how we say them to what we say with them, but it is through our actions that we bring things into being. This is what we mean when we say to one another that actions speak louder than words. In many cases, what we say doesn¢t necessarily line up with what we are doing, and it is here that it becomes clear that it¢s easier to talk about doing something than it is to actually do something. At the same time, it¢s easy to keep doing something that we don¢t necessarily acknowledge ourselves doing verbally. It¢s good for all of us to take a look every once and a while to make sure there is alignment between what we say and what we do. For example, it¢s easy to talk about our dreams, but it takes a lot more energy to take the many small steps that lead to bringing our dreams into reality. If all we ever do is talk about it, we begin to lose faith in ourselves because nothing

changes on the external level. In this way, being all talk and no action is actually a form of self-sabotage. It¢s also useful to examine our actions to see if, through them, we are following through on our words. For example, in expressing concern about the environment, we can look to make sure that we are taking the simple steps we can take to put that concern into action.It¢s always helpful to observe what we talk about and who we say we are, and then to observe what we actually do in the world. Sometimes we realize our actions haven¢t caught up with what we are saying, and at other times we see that we might change our words in a way that it will more adequately reflect what we do in the world. Either way, the more we align our words and our deeds, the clearer we are in expressing our truth in the world, and the more powerful we are in bringing it into reality.
