Telling the truth is a pretty hard thing.
—Thomas Wolfe
Lying can be like sailing choppy waters. The more we lie, the higher the waves get, and the harder the sailing. When we lie, we feel we've failed ourselves and others. We have to work hard to cover up our lies, and the fear of someone finding out is always with us.
If we ask God for courage to tell the truth, we can be like the sailboat on a clear and calm day. We can enjoy the small waves and the light warm breeze we've given ourselves. Honesty is a good habit, and is easy. With a little faith in our own worth, we can choose the calm waters' honesty and apply our creativity to new, growth-oriented activities instead of covering up old mistakes.
How can I smooth my waters right now?

Can't find my truth, if I am looking at everyone else for the answers. I had to go within and find my truth and connect with my God. If I don't acknowledge what is, let go of the denial, face things with faith, instead of fear, how can I find peace and serenity. This is a thinking disease. It is the thought behind the action that takes me beyond the chaos and fear. If I fear it, I attract it.
