The problem with lies -
You have to keep up with the story you presented.
At first it may not seem like a big deal. However it is the details that always break you.
You can not create stories always presenting yourself as the hero. Hiding or misrepresenting the details of your past is a dangerous game.
You can only protect your version of the events for so long.
All it takes it one screw up and the house of lies come tumbling down.
You are not playing a role in a movie. Peoples emotions and feelings are touched by the lies you tell.
Some people may be able to overlook the deceit you bring. Others you have exeperienced your heartache before will tell you to F@@k off.
Being open and honest is hard. Honesty is extremely uncomfortable. The average person does not like to point out their own faults. Or even admit they did anything wrong.
Life is full of opportunitys for us to own our mistakes. And make them right.
The flip side, the other person also has opportunities. They can decide to no longer be hurt by your actions.
Decide to today to build your relationships on truth and integrity. No matter how bad you may look. Be open and honest. Over communicate with the people you love.
Over communicating gives you the chance to be clear in what you are saying. By communicating you are not asking permission for your actions, you are inviting a conversation.
Talking is where healing takes place.
For me, I would rather take the chance on talking than risk living with regret.
Who in your life needs an invitation this week?
