You can build much out of deceit, but leveraging back down the mountain usually is in the form of going off a cliff.

Hi Susan,
Exactly. Becoming a “yes” person is another type of trap which means our words our not tied to our heart, so resentment bubble beneath the surface, because we say yes when we mean no.

Right on Henie, we exercise the lever by being true to our words.
Duplicity is a real bugbear, as it can activate some powerful archetypal energies and convince us that it is the way. But duplicity leads to a hall of mirrors that soon changes from the fun house to the house of horrors.

Hey Jay,

For a “yes” to be authentic you have to have the freedom to say no. Otherwise we end up stressed out trying to keep our integrity in tact rather than freed up from the choices we made and the immense satisfaction we get from doing what we say.
