SELF-DECEPTION

It has been said, "Fool me once shame on you. Fool me twice shame on me."

But who is the person who fooled you, you or someone else? 

You don't have to live with the 6.5 billion people who are in the world so you don't have to deal with the falsehoods that they may come up with. But you do have to live with yourself; how then will you deal with the lies you tell yourself? 

Self-deception is a lie.

If something is wrong with your health denying the fact will not make it go away. 

Your marriage may be in jeopardy but if you choose to ignore the warning signs then all may be lost.

Your children may be running with the wrong crowd but if you pretend that all is well you might pay very dearly.

It has also been said, "These truths are self-evident." 

You must choose to take action or remain inert. In either event the consequences are real, and they are real for better or for worse.

You must face what life throws your way each and every day and you must do this until you breathe your last.
