"I lie to myself all of the time.
But I never believe me."
S.E. Hinton, THE OUTSIDERS
As a self-proclaimed truth teller, I was forced to see the reality of being a huge fibber! Lies, I must admit. Whoppers! Delusions based on zero facts. I am so disappointed to realize how I lie to myself.
Deception prevents joy from entering my life. Falsehoods keep me small, disallowing risks. Negative stories repeated in my mind taint my relationships. Discriminating opinions whispered to myself over ride the kind words of others. My redemption is found, however, in my unwillingness to believe a word I say!
My worthiness does not expand nor deepen if I do not believe in it. Even when I immediately release distorted facts, the residue creates a murkiness and negativity bruises my gentle heart. If I place my attention upon nurturing my spirit, however, my light will shine brighter and highlight my goodness. I shall believe my lies no longer.
