Truth and Deception are United by Self

Truth and Deception may be opposites on the scale of "desirable," but they are grossly enmeshed by a great equalizer called 'self.'

    Self Deception is the two-faced enemy of our success. The first face is deception that we are not 'good enough.'
We conjure up lies about our worth that works magic to keep us dumb, pathetic, and purposeless.

    Once we break free from the depressing shackles of self doubt, by realising the Sea of Potential we possess is enough to overcome any limitation - we suddenly meet the second face of Self Deception.

    This cunning enemy comes as our 'friend', stroking our ego and allowing us to wallow is self glorification, believing we are greater than we actually are.

    In this delusion of Grandeur, we adopt self -awarded titles reserved for recognition by others, like 'leader' or 'influencer', which inflate our arrogance and sharpens the axe of pride that will eventually cut us down to size. 

    In the painful aftermath of our fall, we wonder if success is possible. Yes, it is. In our humiliated state, we ponder if we are meant for greatness. Yes, you are.

    However, the power of Self Truth needs something other than wallowing in self pity to operate in your life, and something more meaningful than pseudo-titles of success to fabricate your destiny.

    Walking in our own truth requires godly characteristics to forge and guide our greatness through our efforts, our mission, our focus, the ensuing momentum, and the inevitable mastery. These elements may seem foreign and impossible to achieve in your mind, but in reality they require two very simple things; the willingness to learn, and the openness to move.

    Your greatness awaits you with open arms. Make this the year of learning and movement.
