Everyone is so untrue. Today is National Honesty Day. Now, with the way society is becoming, honesty it's getting a little hard to come by. But I'm gonna pivot from what we're supposed to talk today and go in a different direction. Now, we can't control what other people say. But what if someone close to you lie to you all the time after a while, what would be your reaction when they told you something?

1:06 What if that's someone close to you? Is you how many times have you told yourself that you were going to quit that bad habit, start eating right, exercise, and be more financially responsible. Now, all those times one side of your brain said what you were going to do? What's the reaction to the other side that knows you're not going to follow through? Well, well, how it's kind of hard to be motivated, you know, when you're kind of getting lied to you all the time. Yeah, you are not a bad person, You're just like everybody else in the entire world. YEP, you're no different. But since we can't control what others say, let's start with ourselves. Let's tell ourselves what we're going to do, come up with a plan and actually do it and achieve what we want to say, No excuses, just do what you say.

1:46 And you know what, You are a beautiful, outstanding person, so tell yourself that. Also, don't lie to yourself and say that you're bad.
