It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.

— Thomas Jefferson

LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

What you believe shows up in how you spend a Tuesday, not in what you would say if asked. Stated values are cheap and easy to hold; conduct is the part that costs something, so it is the part that tells the truth. Anyone watching you learns your convictions from your patience, your fairness, how you treat someone who can do nothing for you. The gap between the two is invisible to you and obvious to them.

Take one value you would name if someone asked, and find where this week contradicted it. Do not argue with the evidence; change one small thing so it is less true next week.
