"The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self."
-- Phillip James Bailey
Are you hiding in some way from your own inner light?
I wouldnt dream of stealing things but I do steal from my own potential. I can be a master at rationalizing, at justifying why its not the right time to do something challenging. My arguments seem valid but deep down, I know theyre excuses.
"The longer the excuse, the less likely it's the truth."
-- Robert Half
"When we know deep down that were acting with integrity despite impulses to do otherwise, we feel gates of higher energy and inspiration open inside of us."
-- Dan Millman (and visa versa: if I know deep down that what I'm thinking or doing has a hidden agenda, I am cutting myself off from my Higher Power and definately anything inspirational or growth oriented--wren)

Thanks for another super post. It's given me a lot to think about this morning. I loved "The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one's self." How true that is and I was constantly doing that when I was drinking. Now, I try to be honest with myself and with everyone else all of the time.
Have a great day.
Carol
