On lying, lack of integrity and incongruence


My boy, when you lie. When you steal. When you do things that go against the person you want to be and know you can be, the real victim is you. When you eat candy, yet claim to be healthy. When you call yourself a Christian yet you don't read the Bible. When you claim to be a good friend yet you backbite and gossip about your friend. You hurt yourself and your own self-esteem more than anyone else.

You can't run away from the contradictions, cognitive dissonance and brain fog that living hypocritically will bring you. You may be hurting everyone else. But you're really only hurting yourself the most. Because you're telling yourself that you can't be trusted. Stop lying, stop pretending and stop giving up because someone is mad or talked shit on you. They don't matter as much as you do. 

You can't deceive a person that is with you 24/7.
