Truth telling is a value that will set you free. Have you ever met someone who just lies for no reason all the time? I have. My mother is the prime example of a liar. Since I can remember she has lied to me about any and everything. When I was ten years old she promised me a hotel party, when I turned sixteen she promised me we will go to Cedar Point, and my senior year of high school she promised she would pay my senior dues. None of these got done and she came up with a lie to cover the other lies. I ask the questions, “why lie to your child?” and “what do you get out of lying to me.”

Growing up I never said anything about it to her, but it has made me a better person. She has helped me not to lie for no reason or at all. It’s pointless and can really affect people in all types of ways. When you lie you have to worry about who will find out, remember what you said, what will be your next lie, and how will people feel about you. No lies, No worries is my motto. Once the truth is out your problem is over. You are not trustworthy, loyal, respected, or faithful to yourself when you continue to lie to others.

Yes, I know everyone doesn’t tell the truth all the time, but that doesn’t make it right. There will be someone who will lie to you every day of your life. My point is don’t practice lying practice telling the truth. Once lying becomes your habit you’re stuck with it. You will start to see your life go downhill and it can be hard to pick it back up.

Truth telling will set you free, trust me! People will respect you, trust you, and you will feel better about yourself. Keep the phrase No lies, No worries in your mind to better yourself. Life is too short for us to keep up with lies when it’s much easier to tell the truth. So like me believe in truth telling.
