Transcript
00:00:01 Kevin
I was listening to a Charlie Kirk video the other day.
00:00:03 Kevin
It was just one of those short reels, but I'm sure it was part of the lead up to America Fest, AmFest.
00:00:10 Kevin
And one of the things that he talks about is, I try to be a good husband, I try to be a good father, I try not to lie.
00:00:20 Kevin
And I started thinking about the last part, and I'm trying to do a series of videos here to build this up, but
00:00:27 Kevin
I try not to lie portion because I lie, you lie, everybody lies to some degree or another.
00:00:38 Kevin
I'm sure even Charlie lied.
00:00:41 Kevin
But it's to what degree?
00:00:42 Kevin
There's some people that only lie.
00:00:44 Kevin
There's some people that lie pathologically.
00:00:47 Kevin
They believe it themselves and then they're able to sell it to other people where they mix in bits of the truth.
00:00:51 Kevin
But it's one of those things like you'll catch yourself doing it, you try not to
00:00:57 Kevin
But it's inevitable.
00:00:58 Kevin
You're going to lie at some point to someone, to yourself.
00:01:04 Kevin
And your best, the best thing you can do is to strive to not, to just tell the truth, to be open, to be transparent, all those things.
00:01:15 Kevin
And that's what I try to do every day.
00:01:17 Kevin
I heard that and it just reinforced it.
00:01:19 Kevin
I try not to lie.
00:01:20 Kevin
I try not to
00:01:22 Kevin
and that try part though, because it's inevitable.
00:01:25 Kevin
It's going to happen.
00:01:27 Kevin
You're going to lie to yourself.
00:01:28 Kevin
You're going to tell, you know, you're going to, your kid's going to do a drawing and it's not going to look the greatest, but you can tell them it's the best drawing you've ever seen, right?
00:01:35 Kevin
That's a lie.
00:01:36 Kevin
You strive not to, but there's certain instances that you're like, okay, well, I'm not going to lie about other things, but at least, you know, I'll keep, I'll hang on to this little lie for now for the kids, yada, yada.
00:01:48 Kevin
So there's little things like that, but just,
00:01:51 Kevin
I hope that sinks in for you.
00:01:53 Kevin
Just try not to lie.
00:01:54 Kevin
Strive to be a better person.
00:01:56 Kevin
Because it's do better, do more, December.
