Today's reminder comes from the first agreement in The Four Agreements: Be impeccable with your word. The card says, “Speak with integrity.” And it doesn’t mean talk like a monk or lawyer—it means say what you mean, and mean what you say.
Truth is, this is one I know I could be better at. Not in some dramatic way, but in the subtle, everyday moments. The throwaway comments. The jokes that land a little too sharp. The way I talk to myself when no one’s around. I’m not always using my words in the direction of truth and love—and that’s something I want to work on.
Especially in a space like Web3, where noise gets mistaken for value, it’s easy to forget the impact of what we say and how we say it. But your word? It’s foundational. It’s infrastructure.
So this isn’t me preaching. This is me checking myself—and inviting you to do the same. Not with guilt, but with curiosity. What would change if we treated our voice like it mattered?
Because it does.
