Peace Tip of the Day

Whenever I feel like someone is bullshittin, i tell them "you can tell me anything. you can lie to everyone on earth, but you cant lie to yourself."

My friend Carson said the same thing to me the other night, but he said it in a different way that had a much more profound meaning...

"You can only be true to yourself. You can't be true to anyone else. You can only be true to yourself."

I mixed the insight that this provided me with that which I got from that Mandela quote and came to this conclusion:

If you're true to yourself, people will see truth in you. And that will inspire them. Some may try to mimic your truth. But that is not THEIR truth and they will be lost until they realize this. But truth is light. Some will be amazed by the light and stare at it until they are blind. And some will see the path that was once shrouded by darkness, now illuminated.

Good night!
