People Lie; Trust Yourself – The Four Agreements

“Wherever you go you will find people lying to you, and as your awareness grows, you will notice that you also lie to yourself. Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves. You have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not believe what someone says to you.

“When we really see other people as they are without taking it personally, we can never be hurt by what they say or do. Even if others lie to you, it is okay. They are lying to you because they are afraid. They are afraid you will discover that they are not perfect.”

~ The Four Agreements (excerpt from The Second Agreement: Don’t Take Anything Personally; Paperback, page 57-58)
