Aren’t you tired of the guilt of lying to yourself?
I mean, think about it. You can fake it in front of the entire world, but how will you fake it or lie to yourself when you are alone? If you don’t have any proof to back up what you say, how do you expect to feel confident in what you are doing? Sometimes when I lie about working out to my mom, deep down I feel guilty for just saying that I am “that person” instead of actually becoming them.
Why do we even do it? Maybe it’s the pressure of societal expectations or the fear of judgment. We want to present ourselves as this ideal version, but the internal struggle is real. Saying you’re hitting the gym when you’re actually binge-watching a series creates this unsettling gap between who you claim to be and who you truly are. The guilt that follows is a natural consequence. It’s the inner self calling us out, demanding authenticity. It’s that tiny voice saying, “Hey, why not become the person you’re claiming to be?” It’s an invitation to align our actions with our aspirations.
The cycle of self-deception is exhausting. So, why not break free from it? Embrace transparency, even if it means admitting your shortcomings. There’s a peculiar liberation in being honest with yourself. It’s not about being flawless; it’s about the genuine journey towards becoming the person you want to be. Remember, the most convincing story you’ll ever tell is the one you live. So, drop the script, ditch the façade, and start living your truth. It’s a lot lighter on the conscience. 💡🤍
Until next time, Adios amigo!
