There comes a
time when we have to pause to listen to
what we are telling ourselves -- "I'm so
stupid," "I'm broke," "I don't know
how," "I can't take it anymore. . ."
Yet in the midst of our dishonest
chatter we are making great strides,
accomplishing many tasks, overcoming
seemingly insurmountable odds. We
can't see it because we keep lying to
ourselves. We lie because we've
been lied to -- "You're no good,"
"You can't do it," "You'll never
make it," "How do you think you're
gonna do that. . . ." We can't
think because there are so many lies
running loose in our minds. The
only way to eradicate a lie is with the
truth. We must not only speak the
truth, we must think in truth. The
truth is, we start from a high place
where success is born, in the mind's eye
of the Most High. The truth is
that no one has ever made a true deal
with [Self] and lost.
