We are what we do

Integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do - Don Galar 

The definition of integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles.
I believe that every step you take, is a chapter in your life. Every person is an author. We all write our own autobiography's. It may be not on paper, but people can see through actions, what you wrote.

We can make mistakes in life, and put it behind you, but the mistake will always be part your history. Every decision we make, is a chapter written in your autobiography which cannot be erased. Your actions is a mirror of the person you are. You can examine a human being through its actions, reactions,  performance, etc. I believe in the saying; don't judge a book by its cover. That is why you must first examine the person's actions before you judge. A cover can mislead you, but a persons actions, can't lie.  

We are what we do. . . it sounds so simple, but it is more complicated than we think. We examine people without knowing it. It is natural, that's why it is important when we make decisions and act to it. When you're looking back, you must be proud of what you did and what you want to achieve.

Think before act. . .

  1. I wish people could understand that the world has no ability to see our inner self, people make assumption on how we portray ourselves. The world does not instantly wonder whether what they see is the true you or not, people need to realize that staying true to ones true self is proper and acceptable at least one can justify their actions and not be embarrassed once they come to their senses
