Consider this entry as part two of WALK THE TALK.
One sure fire way to Walk the Talk is to be honest. By being honest you have nothing to hide. You have only the truth (good or bad) to back you up.
As humans, we love taking the path of least resistance whenever we can. Sometimes that path leads people to lie. Lies can sometimes get people out of trouble but for the most part it is when people forget their lies that things go awry. That is because LIES can lead to confusion. Confusion leads to strained relationships. Strained relationships leads to TROUBLE.
Good or Bad, telling truth may hurt at first, but once you are telling the truth all the time your attitude will change in that you will stand for the truth because that is what you believe, all the time. You will demand others to tell you the truth because nothing else will be accepted. You'll start to see the world a little different by living with accepting only the honest truth, no matter if it hurts or not.
Being honest, all the time, will do wonders for your reputation. Words like integrity, trustworthy, and ethical will become associated with you. Once you get that kind of association you are, most definitely, Walking the Talk!
I do invite you to join the conversation and tell me what you think about any of the postings so far.
Thank You,
