It is not what people say but what they do that matters. Too many people spend their time talking and not enough time doing. Words can sound convincing in the moment but consistent action is what reveals truth.

People show their true colors eventually and you do not have to force it. You only have to pay attention. Watch what they do when it is inconvenient. Watch what they do when no one is watching. Watch how they handle pressure and responsibility and how they treat people who cannot offer them anything in return.

Promises are easy to make and beliefs are easy to claim but character is proven through follow through. Patterns matter. A single moment can be a mistake but repeated behavior is a message. When someone consistently shows up with effort and honesty and respect you can trust what you see. When someone consistently disappears when it is time to deliver you should believe that too.

In the end accomplishments and integrity carry more weight than any speech. Let actions be the standard and let consistency be the proof. Watch what they do and pay attention to patterns because patterns never lie.
