“I can't believe what you say, because I see what you do”

Simplified Meaning:
It's hard to trust someone's words if their actions show something different. Imagine a friend who constantly says they care about you but never shows up when you need help or support. Their actions contradict their words, making it tough to believe their assurances. This idea is also true in many areas of life, like at work or in relationships. If a boss promises fairness but always gives promotions to their friends, employees will have a hard time trusting them. To gain trust, it’s important to make sure your actions match your words. Being consistent in what you do and say helps people believe and rely on you.
