Lying is defined as “A false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth.” In other words, a shameful humanly act and I use the word “shameful” loosely because, lets admit, we've all told a little white lie at least once or twice in our life. Why do we lie? Some of us may ask, is it because we are too afraid of the truth? Maybe at times it’s necessary to bend the truth and fib a bit, but does lying really solve anything? In the end you are the one with the guilty conscious right?

Recently I caught myself in a lie, not a lie I was telling to someone but a lie I was telling to my own being. In all honesty I was aware of the lie I was continuously telling myself for a month but it was recently that I shook myself out of my denial and admitted to the fact that I can’t lie to myself forever. This past month I kept trying to convince myself that I can grow to like and eventually become good at this task that I was set out to do, and although sometimes that is the case, that definitely was not the case for me. There are times where life requires you to face the facts and except failure. I know I know, the word “failure” is a scary word that no one likes to confront, but all those cliche quotes about failure leading to success and blah blah blah, are actually true…So here I am sitting in my office chair, that I've only been sitting in for a month, minutes away from telling my boss…I can’t lie to myself forever.
