You are right
Our words, character, and actions must be consistent
We should not be caught saying one thing and doing the opposite
That will only soil our names and reputation
We should be sincere and integrity should be found among us
But if we continue living a particular lifestyle and it is not improving or giving the desire result, self-evaluation should be considered , and tweaks should be made
One of the best qualities of human beings is their ability to evolve, to adapt.
I have values, I have a goal, I draw a plan, I take action every day, and along the way I encounter stumbling blocks. Should I give up? Should I not change my objective? Not necessarily. Then, should I change what I believe in? Not necessarily. What I have to do is to develop the agility to make changes that do not structurally affect the thinking-doing relationship (my essence), adapting myself to the circumstances that in the end will allow me to reach my objective.
And definitely our consistency allows us to gain the trust, respect and credibility of others. Let's not forget that society rewards these values.
