Tell the truth, or at least don't lie


 

Telling the truth is often hard because you have to know the truth in order to tell it and that is hard as well. By definition the truth is that which is true or in accordance with fact or reality. There are many people who would do whatever it takes to get what they want and this includes lying about themselves, the things they have done and what other people have done. Most times one can actually get away with it but only for a very very short time and then the consequences come knocking. The opposite is true as well, if you tell the truth, the consequences may not be immediate but they are going to come in the same way the consequences for lying come. The most common law of physics is for every action there is a reaction so before you say anything remember that your words have the mathematical potential to have an impact in at least a billion people's lives.



The thing that most people often overlook is that lying to yourself is actually more damaging than lying to others, look at all the reality that is around you and see yourself as 1 grain of sand in a desert, well that is supposed to make someone feel very humble and more attentive but rather some then use it as an excuse to do or say whatever they want because they are under the impression that their actions will have no significant impact in the world which is a lie and that is the first lie which one needs to deal with. Here is a list of 5 lies which you might have probably heard and 5 truths you might not have heard

The lie

  • Your actions and words are insignificant
  • You are worthless because you are not good at something common 
  • You are not as important as everyone else
  • Time is not important
  • You are stupid
The truth
  • It is possible to be networked to a billion people so your words and actions are very significant.
  • You can not be good at everything, so focus on what you are good at and ignore the rest.
  • No one person is more important than the other.
  • Time is one of the most precious resources and managing it well could be the difference between making it and not.
  • Psalms 139 vs 14 : "I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made your works are wonderful, I know that full well"



So lets bring it closer to home...you should write down at least 10 brutally honest things about yourself. The first five are going to be things that you are absolutely horrible at for example some people are horrible at singing but are fantastic song writers or beat producers. So you write down 5 things you aren't very good at and 5 things that you are very good at. The purpose behind this is to see if you are being perfectly honest with yourself and whether you can tell the difference between yourself and every other human being which isn't a physical difference. After writing down that list, concentrate on improving and mastering the things you are good at and ignore the rest. Have a blessed week and Thank God its Monday

Sweet are the uses of adversity

Image
When things are bad it is human nature to forget that things are going to get good and when things are good it is also human nature to forget that things are most probably going to get bad. I strongly feel that the main cause or one of the main causes of stress and in time depression is not knowing what to do . When things are going really bad I believe not knowing what to do is the main cause of stress. I believe that we have all been through some level of adversity (a very unpleasant situation) and what separates us is how we react and navigate through these adversities. "Sweet are the uses of adversity , which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in its head " ~ William Shakespeare. To help deal with adverse situations i have compiled a list that will help you cope better with difficult situations :  Learn to take a hit One of the most useful skills you are taught in any combat sport is how to take a blow . The reason why people end up los...

The horse is made ready for the day of battle

" The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD " ~ King Solomon(Proverbs 21 vs 31).This is a verse I got from my little brother during one of our family devotions and it really got me thinking. In ancient times the horse was considered one of the finest beasts man could ever own and use for his/her personal use. Before it was used for agricultural purposes it was mostly used for transportation and for war as the soldiers would ride atop of it into battle. The horses were readied for battle a day or 2 prior to battle so that when the day arrives they are in perfect shape and would prove to be an advantage to their owners. King Solomon however knew something that a majority of people didn't know, that we may have the finest horses but victory rests or lies with the Lord. This to me means that before there is even a victory the horses need to be made ready for the battle and this allows the victory to rest with the Lord because we wo...

Value your identity

Image
Our past as many would argue is always going to be a huge part of our life. The sad part is a majority of the memories we remember are those in which our lives were at an all time low. This can be a certain failure, heartbreak or some other catastrophic event. Continuously replaying such events unintentionally molds us into the people we are and would result in loss of confidence, depression and just a general lack of purpose or value in life. If these things don't shape us then the constant criticism we receive from friends and family molds us unfortunately. A number of people are the way they are simply because of what was said or what happened to them that they can not let go of. Holding on to such negative emotions not only has its toll on your emotional and mental well  being but it also has some effect even on your physical well being. The most powerful thing in the world is to be consistent with the thoughts values that you believe to be true about you . In my view identity ...
