What Do Your Actions Say About You?

     When we allow ourselves to 'buy into' a belief-system, which gives us 'permission' to behave in unsavory ways, able to 'justify' our own display of negative, behavior(s), this is a disservice; as, we are not doing ourselves, or others, any favors by being angry, bitter, churlish, disappointed, enraged, fearful, God-less, hate-filled, ireful, joyless, kind-less, loveless, mean, nasty, outraged, perturbed, quick to judge, rancorous, sore-headed, ticked-off, unfair, vitriolic, wrathful, X-treme in our reaction(s), (un)yielding, or, zen-less. There are MANY ways, A-Z, to exhibit 'conduct-unbecoming', and, most of us, at one time or another, may find ourselves doing such; However, when we find ourselves in a chronic or constant state of agitation, allowing our 'buttons' to be pushed, and reacting from a place of frustration, to my mind, this is a good time for a bit of 'self-reflection' and 'soul-searching' to occur. For, as much as we may wish to 'point the finger of blame' at others, to rationalize our angst, it is we, ourselves, we must address. Happy, love-filled, folk DO NOT go about treating others in unkind fashion. It is an 'unrefuted' TRUTH that when a person is filled with self-love and regard, he or she treats others with same; When a person is filled with self-destructive tendencies, self-hatred, self-pity, and, an overall lack of self-esteem, he or she, typically, shows this through treatment of others. We can tell ourselves over and over again that we believe ourselves to be a certain, type of person; But, it is our actions, which DO 'speak louder than words', which let others know where we, truly, are 'coming from'. Unless we understand the need to be kind to our own self, we will NEVER, sincerely, 'get' how to extend that thoughtfulness to others. It's important to be honest with ourselves, in order for us to have better relationships with others in our lives. To thine own self be true. Just Sayin'...
