Lies
When you find yourself hiding things let it be a warning light.
Spending time concealing, covering up your trail, or distracting is a reason to pause and think. Ask yourself:
Why am I hiding?
Who am I hiding “x” from?
How can I make it right?
Big lies will crush you and little lies will steal your peace. We’re all liars to some degree.
Sometimes the lies slip out without intention and have to be reeled back. Sometimes we leave things out to get an edge. The key is to keep short accounts and avoid the accruing effect. Rationalizations are a slippery slope that will set you back.
Owning the slip-ups improves your character.
And don’t forget… If you’re not exposed on earth you’ll surely be exposed when you meet your maker.
