Who’s Kidding Who?
Putting on a false front isn’t new—it’s been around long before Hollywood. But here’s the thing: you can’t live an authentic life reading from someone else’s script.
About ten years ago, my son was watching the NFL draft. I walked into his room and saw a newly selected player being interviewed. I didn’t know who he was, but within seconds, I told my son, “This kid’s got trouble.”
Sure enough, as he spoke, his history of bad decisions unfolded. He said all the right things—promising his past was behind him—but something felt off. His words and demeanor didn’t match. He wasn’t just trying to convince others; he was trying to convince himself.
And that’s the bigger issue. We’ve all said things with authority that we had no real authority to say. It’s not just failing to walk the talk—it’s not even believing the talk.
So, what are you saying that you don’t truly believe? Here’s a clue: it’s usually a defense of something you know is indefensible. Some say if you lie to yourself long enough, you’ll start believing it. Not true. That uneasy feeling never goes away—it just builds until it breaks you.
No matter how polished your script, you can’t fool yourself. And just like you can sense when someone else is faking it, others can sense it about you.
The fix? Simple, but not easy. Stop lying to yourself. When your words and beliefs align, your message becomes real–You’re congruent. And you stop speaking the language of deception where you once were quite fluent.
All the best,
John
