Recently I heard two people conversing. I wasn\u2019t eavesdropping, but they weren\u2019t aware that I could hear what they were saying. As they approached where I was sitting, my name came up in the conversation. The person who was recounting the story totally lied about me. What they said painted me in a rather bad light. Momentarily, I thought about popping up around the corner and saying, \u201cGotcha! That\u2019s not how it happened at all, you lying sack of $#1t.\u201d But I didn\u2019t. Liar liar, pants on fire. Silence cannot make a liar out of you. Let it go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People are going to say what people are going to say. People talk about you. And likely, most of it is untrue, even if it\u2019s a so-called compliment. I\u2019m going to admit something. I\u2019ve lied about others. I\u2019ve \u201cstretched\u201d the truth to get a good story. Who doesn\u2019t like a good story? We embellish to get attention, kick up drama, or create a stir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Humans love stories, and they\u2019ll twist them to create interest, to make the storyteller look good or funny. We tell people things that make us look better (or worse), depending upon the amount of attention the story receives. Stories aren\u2019t about the subject matter. They are about the one telling the story. They say \u201cLook at me.\u201d It\u2019s not the content, but the messenger that becomes the hidden subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I wouldn\u2019t believe much of what you hear. I wouldn\u2019t believe much of what you read on MyMorningMotivator either. Most of what you think and say is garbage. Say fewer things today. Think fewer things today. Listen to the birds. Listen to a Beethoven symphony. Listen to the breeze. Watch everything go by. Your life is an experience not a story summarized in the lies of words. Let life \u201cspeak\u201d for itself. The narrative is afire with lies. Silence is the fire which makes reality burn truer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
