Chapters
You can't manipulate everyone. Your manipulation tactics are only going to work on the people that fall for them. Stop using excuses as to why you can't change. Stop trying to use your forms of self-deception, lying, emotional manipulation. Stop using them on everybody in your life because at some point everything that you use on yourself and everyone in your life becomes your reality, and you become so confused and so lost that you don't even know the truth anymore. You've literally bought into your lies and the things that you use to cover up your pain and your behaviors and your fear of what people are going to think about what you do in secret. All of that has caused you to lose sight of your vision, you to lose sight of the truth, and the truth will set you Do you even know what truth is anymore? What is your truth now? And are you even living in that truth? Or are you just constantly negotiating with a lesser version of yourself, constantly emotionally manipulating yourself, gaslighting yourself, lying to yourself, abusing, neglecting, betraying yourself? Because the more that you do this, the more that you start to experience the effects of all of that manipulation. Yeah, people in your life, they don't get the truth, but neither do you. So you're not living in that truth either. Self-deception has a price, brother, and you're paying for that. You are paying the price of your own self-deception, of your own psychological manipulation. What's the price? Lower confidence. What's the price? Lower self-esteem. What's the price? Not believing in yourself, not trusting in yourself, not loving yourself, not giving yourself options. There is a price to pay. And do you want to be emotionally, mentally, spiritually bankrupt? Is that how you want to live your life? Let me guess, you're already there. So what's it going to be? Decide to live in your truth. Decide to stop the manipulation with everybody in your life. Get honest, brutally honest about what you want, how you want to live, the truth. What is your conscience telling you? What is that voice within you telling you? Stop lying to yourself just because you're afraid of the truth.
