YOUR ACTIONS REFLECTS YOUR CONSCIENCE

Our values direct our actions
And the ways we act in the world
Continually shape our personal authority
Ethical actions strengthen our conscience
Unethical actions weakens it

It really that simple
And our actions are directly
Shaped by our thoughts and values
Your actions reflects your conscience
And it defines who you truly are

It’s easier to act ethically
When you know what you value
But what about those you associate with?
What did they value?
If you connect with people 
Personally or professionally

Whose values are different from yours
It can cause you to veer off course
Many who are serving time now 
For white-collar crimes
Are there because they associated
With a person or business that breached the law

It may have started quite innocently
With someone taking job at a company
Completely unaware of any illegality
Then he is asked to participate in small indiscretions
O what a tangled web we weave when
We first practice to deceive or to act without integrity

Has your business partner, 
Your boss, a client a friend or a family member 
ever asked you to do something
Unethical how did you response? 
We’ve probably all succumbed
At one time or another to the temptation 
To cross the line your action speaks so loud
That I cannot hear what you say

Our actions are the clearest indicator
Of the state of our conscience
Those who have integrity are unified
In that their thoughts, words and deeds
Are in line with their values and conscience 

They are whole individuals
They are people you can trust
I hope you are one of those people
Let your actions reflect your 
Values and your conscience
And you’ll experience 
The wholeness that integrity brings
