Lying creates stress.
You have to worry about getting caught.
You have to remember the story you made up and all the versions you told to different people.
You have to lie again to keep it going.
Your subconscious eats at you (hopefully) because it is not who you are, or want to be.
This all creates stress. That is how a lie detector works – it does not sense a lie, it senses stress.
You don’t need to lie. Just tell the truth and stop worrying about your ego and how you look.
Most people don’t think about you much at all anyway. You being human will be no surprise to anyone, and you being honest will be refreshing and appreciated.
Don’t lie.
It’s not worth the trouble or the long-term expense.
Not gonna lie… you speak truth. 😉
My boss tells at least 1-2 lies per week, personally or professionally. It’s almost a game for me to pick them out when I hear one. It’s sad.
A quote I recently read from the book Twice written by Mitch Albom is very relevant to todays message.
“Secrecy is a loan against your better Judgment. You pay the interest in regret.”
Amen! Honestly is always the best policy!
