“Integrity is telling myself the truth. And honesty is telling the truth to other people.” -Spencer Johnson
Only you know if you’ve been lying to yourself. Other people may think they know what’s going on in your head and what’s right for you. But only you know what you need to do and whether or not you’re doing it.
Only you know what you believe and whether or not you’re honoring it.
Only you know what your values are and whether or not you’re upholding them.
Only you know if you’re projecting onto other people to avoid taking responsibility for your own life.
And only you can decide to get brave, stop lying, and start being the person you know you want to be–in thoughts, words, and actions.
Have you been lying to yourself–and is it time to start creating happiness in the way that only you can?
