Even A Broken Clock Is Right Twice A Day

The truth of a lie,
Is the lie of a truth.
You can not see something until you know what it is.
When we believe something that is not the truth it is because we needed to at that time,
And when we find the lie in what we believe to be the truth,
Then we know the truth.

Sounds like a tongue twister, however, it is only twisted truth.
Our jobs, our hearts work, our brains truth is to untwist the twisted,
And speak the truth to ourselves so that we can go on.

To tell ourselves that someone doesn't like us is our perception.
Is it on a day we don't like ourselves?
To tell ourselves we can't get this job or that car or live in that house,
Is it that we do not believe we deserve to have what we love?
To tell ourselves that nothing good happens to us,
Is it that we don't want it to and we got used to living in the "nothing for me" mode?
The "there is nothing I can do about it" mode?

And then we turn every situation into why this or that could not happen,
And we trap another soul into listening to us.

What if we turned our thoughts into telling ourselves, "I am doing this on purpose."
"I don't want myself to succeed, but why?"
"If I succeed then will I be accountable to live up to other goals and things I have wanted?"
"Am I scared to fail at what I was wishing for, so I keep it away by saying I have tried, but.....?"

I found myself saying this many times in these past weeks,
"Even a broken clock is right twice a day."
Take a chance on yourself.
Start with the little things first,
And then build it, one thought at a time.
Take what is right and do it,
And take what you fear and try it.
No one needs to know,
Just you and your efforts,
And let your efforts teach you,
And have the patience to teach yourself,
And then share it with another,
And let yourself explain it,
And then you will have trust.

Trust in your abilities,
And as your abilities grow,
You will be capable,
And "No" will be answered with, "Why not?"

Why not you!?
Your love is your strongest emotion.
Let it live in its stride, don't accept your own lie's,
The ones you have gotten used to and forgot they are lies.
They become truths that are not the truth
And you know better than that.

Take your lies that became truth,
And live in the truth of what you lay before you,
No matter what, you will never shortchange yourself in truth.
