Credibility is a thing

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.
