Everyone lies. Dr. Gregory House is the source of that bit of wisdom. It is a cynical statement at first glance, but it is also a irrefutable fact of life.
Telling lies always seem like a good idea at first. However in the long run it never ends well. I like to say that I am too lazy to lie. They are too hard to hide. The quickest way to get caught at being deceitful is to slip up and contradict yourself.
"What did I do to deserve this ? " All my life I have blamed myself first when something goes wrong. This time that is simply not an option.
Yes, Everyone lies, as I stated before. I can't change that. The only thing I am in control of is the way I react. I refuse to play the role of victim any more.
Now, it's time to dig in the tool box again and get to work. The tool I have selected for this job is called "Radical Acceptance".
Radical acceptance is the practice of accepting life on its own terms and finding effective strategies to cope with whatever is happening. It doesn't mean being passive, but accepting "what is" with the understanding that you have the power of choice. Practicing radical acceptance is a choice that can ease stress and depression and enhance your overall quality of life.
This says it all better than I could. I will close with these words. Ever Forward !
