We must live with a single focus and not let the noise keep us from a righteous path.
If you are living two separate lives in the one you live then you are missing out on so much. Opportunities, growth, less stress, better work and more happiness. Now that sounds like a good thing to me.
The problem with separating your life is that you are trying to become two different people. You show one side of yourself to a select crowd and then the others know you in a different light. This opens up opportunities for mistakes, stress, and never discovering your true self.
I’ve tried to live two lives and it sucks. It is not easy. You end up realizing you are just a liar. A bullshitter. I wish my parents knew everything I did all the time. It would have given me a stronger conscience. I’ve done stupid things, but luckily nothing bad came from it. They weren’t extreme choices, but I know I could have done better.
There is nothing worse than hiding a part of you from others. Especially those that care about you.
I am not a perfect person. I used to struggle with telling others troubles that were on my mind. I have a hard time keeping up with my friends and family. I get so caught up in my work and obsess over the next best thing for me. It’s not that I don’t want to spend time with everyone, it’s that I want to be successful so I can give back to those that I care about.
I want to spoil my family and friends with the harvest I have grown over all these years, but I can’t let that get in the way of today. It is so important that we remember to harvest today because it won’t come back. Being honest with what you need in life will help you so much.
We must be who we are in all areas of our life. Honesty goes a long way.
Ever since I started being honest about myself with others, I became more honest with myself. All areas of my life began to flourish. Why? It’s because my guilt began to lift from everything I was holding in. Others began to understand where I was coming from. They appreciated my honesty, not only about myself, but my thoughts on just about everything.
People respect honesty above just about everything. So start being honest through one life and not two.
