How many times did you twist the truth a little bit today??
Did you leave something out that you should have included in the work you did? It was only one small detail that made a hugh difference. If you did that, you did not keep it One Hundred Percent.
It wasn’t a lie but it was not the entire truth either.
How did you feel afterwards? Did you feel like crap, or did you just keep it moving without a thought?
The answer to “How Did You Feel” tells a lot about who you are being and how you are being.
I know personally when I leave that one vital piece of information out, I feel like crap. I am not being honest with myself or whomever I am dealing with. I find that before I take that dishonest action, which it is, I toss it around quite a bit in my mind. This is a Soul conversation and connection going on. I come up with all the reasons why what I am choosing to do or say is okay. I gather up all of my evidence to present my “facts” which may be a fact, but does not include the facts that count.
The other person involved may accept what you are presenting at face value, but more often than not something just does not seem right, and nine times out of ten, you’ll have to ‘fess up about knowing something you did not reveal. You can make it seem like an “honest” mistake. Go ‘head, make that lie real. Your intention was to be less than One Hundred Percent. Your credibility goes right down the drain. You can’t blame anyone for giving you that side eye.
Then you have to go find a way to build up the trust you just lost. You can no longer be depended on. Not leaned on, but depended on. There is a difference which we’ll talk about another time.
If you have any kind of relationship with your Soul, or God, or the Universe, or whatever you call that life-giving force that is inside of you, you got some explaining to do with yourself. Like I said earlier, at the time you were manufacturing and making up your less than One Hundred Percent version of your non-truth, you were already in that Soul conversation. You might have been connected, in alignment, of one accord, on the same page with God when you started. But when you choose to be less than truthful, you loose that connection. Disconnect big time.
You know you have disconnected yourself for the time being from your source of all good things, again, like I said before, because you don’t feel as good as you did just moments before. What you feel when you disconnect by not keeping it real are those fear-based feelings. You might wonder “will they find out?” All the negative thoughts come out to play, and things that were going well just seem to take a turn for the worse. Rightly so. That’s the playground you chose to play in. So there you are splashing around in the mud getting all dirty.
If what you did bothers you, it’s a good thing. It means you do have a conscious and it is letting you know you could have done better. You could have kept it One Hundred and stayed in that feel good place where things just work out because you are keeping it real.
This means you can fix the thing you did that was not in anybody’s best interest. You can man up, put your big girl panties on, stand up straight, and go make things right. If you have to re-do the work you intentionally half-assed, go do it. Preferably without having to be told to do it. If you have to stand face-to-face with the person you just deceived, go give them the rest of the information. You will be more relieved than they are, because your Soul has been kicking your ass and you have been feeling like shit. You haven’t been able to think about any thing else besides how low you feel about not keeping it One Hundred.
Now, on the other hand, if lying, being dishonest, not caring about anything or anybody else is your thing, so be it. Sorry for you! Since like attracts it’s own kind, it is unlikely our paths will cross. I don’t have to worry about you. The other side of that coin is that you will certainly attract those like you who you cannot trust, and your life will be filled with being lied to, cheated, mistreated, and misfortunes. Sorry for you!
Keeping it One Hundred Percent is being in integrity. You will be known for keeping your word. You do what you say you are going to do, and you do the best you can with every thing you do. These are God-like qualities. You reflect God’s goodness, and good things show up in your life. Life is good simply because you kept it One Hundred!
We don’t have to do gigantic, impossible things to be a righteous person, just meaning someone who takes the higher ground, is honest, cares about others and is about being our best self. It’s the simple things like these that makes for a pleasant, Blessed life. It doesn’t take much to Live The Good Life.
So, I ask you again.
Are you keeping it One Hundred Percent?
Your Best Life Depends On It!
