My Journal #267 - A quote to ponder

“One comes to believe whatever one repeats to oneself sufficiently often, whether the statement be true of false. It comes to be dominating thought in one's mind.” – Robert Collier.

We all know someone like this. We know a person that repeats the same babble over and over, until they firmly believe it . . . while trying to make you believe it. These people are hard to see coming, but once they are spotted they tend to vanish quickly and often.

You see, when someone lies and gets caught they have to move on so they can perpetrate the lie again elsewhere for others to hear. Their whole life becomes the lies. They can’t tell the truth anymore because it contradicts the lie. It becomes a never ending ruse.

These people would be your false friends. When life is grand and the sun is shining on your face, they show up wanting to bask in your glow. But once the clouds arrive they vanish, searching for someone else in the sun.

So my advice to you today . . . . BE HONEST.

Everyone deserves it. Everyone needs it. And when you find someone that always has secrets and chastises you when you put two and two together, then you should realize that there is a reason for all the deceptions.

The sun always shines on me. But I’ll walk into the darkness with you . . . allways!
