Nobody gets away with anything. Ever.
We live in a universe of dependable laws that operate under the immutable force of cause and effect. Thinking we can cheat or exploit a weakness or steal when no one is looking, is much like thinking that our garbage actually disappears when the garbage collector comes each week. It doesn’t. It’s simply moved to a new location.
Do you divert massive amounts of energy to cover up, hide or suppress who you really are?
Compartmentalizing our lives, showing up one way when we think no one is watching, and another when we might get caught or found out, is a surefire way to sabotage success.
Come clean. You’re not fooling anyone. Frankly, you’re not that good of an actor. Once you give yourself permission to show up authentically, flaws and all, you grant patients the same freedom. Then true healing can occur. For them and you.
