Full Episode
Why is it so hard to be honest with yourself? It's because I think sometimes we value other people more than we value our own selves. Does this sound familiar to you? You were talking about somebody else and they found out.
And instead of just coming clean about what you said and why you said it and the fact that you weren't really trying to hurt their feelings, you were just trying to speak facts. You lie and you say, no, I never said that. I would never say that. Why would you ever think that I would say such a thing? That was me all throughout my teenage years. Until I learned to be more honest. Lying is great.
It's the best thing in the world. You don't want to take accountability for something. You just say, it wasn't me. And nobody will question it. Except everyone will question it. And eventually everybody is going to find out. But lying starts to impact some of the more deeper parts of you. It starts kind of weighing heavy on your conscious because you know something that a lot of people don't.
You know that you haven't been truthful and a lot of people are believing a side of you that isn't even real. You have fabricated completely. And it weighed heavy on my soul. Lying isn't a good thing. It's not a good practice. Funny enough though, a lot of people do it. We get lied to like every single day. But for me, I decided one day I wanted to make a change.
I didn't wanna keep lying all of my life. I honestly would rather be as honest as possible.
to the people in my life to my loved ones and most importantly i wanted to be honest with myself the other day i'm at a bar i'm watching the uga ut game phenomenal game go dogs w's in the chat stockton put up a game anyways i'm watching the game and there's this beautiful girl who's at the bar she has this black coat kind of fluffy And I think, man, I want to talk to her.
I just want to talk to her. I want to use some of the advice that I've been given out. And I cowered out. I didn't do it. I found lies in my brain that supported my assumption of like, nah, nah, she wouldn't. Nah, nah, she's with her friends. Nah, nah, nah. When I should have just been more honest and I should have just gone up and talked to it.
I'm catching myself on this because when I don't do what I really want to do inside, I end up feeling really miserable. I feel like I don't do something. And hey, sometimes you won't execute on something. You will have an opportunity and it just will pass you by. It happens. It happens all the time.
But when you know you have an opportunity, you know you want to do something or say something and you decide against it because you lie to yourself and you find some kind of excuse to not do it. That's you not being honest. That's you lying to yourself. Right now, the new year's coming up, right? I really want to go back into the gym and put my head down and lose some weight.
