Remember, to lie you have to know the correct answer, believe it is correct and then say something else.
Just because someone has a different opinion to you, does not mean they are lying. They just see it differently.

Often we react and don’t take the necessary time to stop, consider and respond. We can see something happen and immediately come up with our version of the story. This usually involves our own bias, what we’re thinking about in that moment, what we experienced at the time and a thought of fear or strength.
Many times things happen for a reason we could not even consider. Or it will be a mix of various reasons that an observer may have no knowledge about.
When you’re about to comment on something, check your bias, and consider alternative positions and events that could have swayed the situation. It’s not always as simple and straightforward as Iwe make it up to be in our head.
Focus on 1 or 2 things at a time. Discipline yourself to say no to new things if they do not absolutely move your goals forward. Time is at a premium. Don’t waste it on anything that doesn’t improve your life through joy or wealth.
In the face of hardship, it’s the one helpful thing you can do.
Most people don’t dig too far down. There isn’t time, even if there is sufficient interest. So who ever creates the headline, creates the narrative.
Sometimes you have it and sometimes you don’t. Practice.
If someone wrote your biography and turned it into a movie, would people watch with interest? Would it lift people up and inspire them to greatness? Or would it be a warning to others to avoid this route at all costs?
Now that you’re thinking about it, you could actually do something about it. If it looks like a positive role model story, well done, keep going! However, if it has flashing red lights and warning labels all over it, perhaps rethink the plan for the next five years and start turning things around.
You can’t force things to be how they were in the past. Accept the change. Direct the future. Live with the new reality.
It can be a lot of fun, educational and enjoyable. It often leads to unforgettable experiences.
We are all searching for our favourite things. We try new foods to see if we can find our absolute favourite. We assess different political and philosophical ideas to find our favourite one.
We also look for our favourite person and people. We seem to be on a continuous, never-ending quest to find our favourites. When will we be satiated?
