On congruence and new year's resolutions

On congruence and new year's resolutionsOn being impeccable with our word and cultivating śraddhā - self-trust. Practising congruence between thoughts, speech and actions.How speech - standing at the threshold between thoughts and actions - offers a powerful focus to help cultivate greater congruence, confidence and self trust.With reference to the Sanskṛt subhāṣita 'wise saying':Manasyekam vacasyekam karmaṇyekam mahātmanā |Manasyanyat vacasyanyat karmaṇyanyat durātmanā ||One whose thought, speech and action are one is a great soul.One whose mind is one thing, whose speech another and whose action another again is a soul in torment.
