Credibility is a thing
It speaks to how believable you are
How dependable
How much you can be relied upon.
It speaks to whether someone can take you at your word
Whether they can buy into your story
Whether what you have to offer has any substance.
Words are just words, until we give them meaning
And meaning depends on what we do with them.
Without the conviction to back your words with actions
Without following up and following through
Words are just that, words.
Just meaningless uttering’s and noise.
Sounds we blurt out.
Just things we say to make ourselves feel better
Nothing more, nothing less
Until one day, we start to believe our own lies.
Only to look in the mirror and no longer recognize, who it is we see.
