On congruence and new year's resolutions
On 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.
