When is it okay to lie? ⁣

To me? It’s okay to lie when you’re lying to yourself. ⁣

Now, what does that even mean?⁣

In both life and business… the road to success will never be a smooth one.⁣

It will always be filled with bumps along the way. ⁣

Unfortunately, not everyone makes it to the other side. ⁣

When you are tested and hit with obstacles, in moments of despair and hopelessness…⁣

…that is when it’s okay to lie to yourself.⁣

‘’It is going to be okay’’⁣
‘’I will be okay’’⁣

These may be lies in the moment because things are not okay and you don’t know if you will be but in time… those things can become the truth. ⁣

We are all creatures of habit. ⁣

As you ‘’lie’’ and tell yourself with positive thoughts… your actions follow them too. ⁣

We may not be able to control what happens to us but we choose how we react.⁣

That’s in our hands.⁣

Yours and mine. ⁣

So when you’re having a rough time, give yourself a pat on your back and say… ‘’I will be okay. I will be great’’ then go on… make incredible things happen for you no matter what comes your way.⁣
