Trust

We all know them....people that lie or let's just say they stretch the truth.

The one thing they all have in common is they actually believe their own lies.
The more they repeat it , the more they believe it.
But I assure you it catches up to them.

Honesty is the best policy....and is the ONLY policy to live by.

If you cannot say it in front of that person than you probably shouldn't say it.
More bad feelings come from rumors and lies.

So why do people lie?

To cover up.
To make THEM look better or to try to get them out of the line of fire.
They think by pulling others down they will rise.
Hate.
Revenge.

All dark reasons and they all will weigh you down.

I have said it dozens of times on this blog...life is short. And in the end if you want to succeed you need allies, friends, partners. Others see how you act, how you talk about others.
If you lie or slam people with others than they KNOW that when they leave the room you will do the same to them. 

TRUST.

How can others trust you if you talk so freely and negative about others?

My mentor, boss and friend PAUL ARPIN always respected everybody and very rarely talked negative about someone and if you started to talk negative about someone to him he would shut you down.
He wanted facts only and positive conversations on how to improve and help.

He taught me so much by example and this was one of his best lessons.
Be honest and do not say things to try to pull others down or to slam them.
Gather the facts and speak directly to that person, one on one.
