Right-Mindedness—-Do you know the old saying “honesty is the best policy”? Well, it’s true. It’s so important that we should never lie about anything ever again. So here are some things you definitely shouldn’t lie about:
1. Your age – Nothing good comes from lying about your age, and why would anyone want to do that, anyway?
It just makes people suspicious of you, and then they’re going to think they’re in their 30s when they look like a 23-year-old with sun damage!
2. How much money you make – If someone asks how much money you make, don’t say $75K when it’s $35K because chances are they will find out, eventually.
Right-Mindedness
We all lie, but the biggest lies are the ones that people tell themselves.
I’m not talking about little white lies or exaggerations to make yourself sound cooler; I mean things you should never lie about.
For example, if someone asks how many sexual partners you’ve had and you say five when it’s fifteen… you’re lying to yourself.
If your significant other asks if they look fat in their new dress and you say no because they do look like a beached whale in it… you’re lying to yourself.
Do you get my drift? This blog post will list some of those big-time lies that we need to stop telling ourselves so we can live our lives more honestly!
Anyway
Let’s start with number one from the Readers Digest article found at: https://www.rd.com/list/things-should-never-lie-about/
Again…
Don’t lie about your income on tax returns.
Who doesn’t want a refund at tax time? Just don’t get carried away thinking that a fib here and there could land you more money.
Take it from the noted tax gurus at H&R Block: They say that telling lies on your return could lead to being audited, losing out on future tax credits, and spending time and money for legal assistance.
Besides, there are better ways to save money on your taxes: Be sure to take these tax breaks you’ll regret not claiming.
Don’t lie about your assets during bankruptcy.
If you end up in this unpleasant bind, says Debt.org author Bill Fay, don’t hide assets.
“If you purposely leave out assets or income when trying to help your qualification, your case could be dismissed,” he writes.
In short, he suggests being honest, noting that bankruptcy deceptions rarely go unnoticed. Need financial help? Check out these money-saving tips that you won’t learn from a financial adviser.
Don’t lie to your doctor about treatment.
If your doctor prescribes a treatment—whether a pill, physical therapy, or diet change—it’s for a good reason.
“We give patients the tools to help them heal,” says Dr. Torbeck.
However, he says that some patients who are supposed to apply a steroid cream have lied about usage, so it’s no surprise they still itch in affected areas.
“It’s important for patients to help themselves too,” he says.

To look at this another way…Right-Mindedness
There are a lot of lies that people tell throughout their lives, but there are some lies that you should never lie about. These lies may make your life much easier, and they will always help you in the long run.
In Short… Right-Mindedness
We all lie sometimes. It’s not like you should tell the truth every time, that would be exhausting, and no one wants to hear it.
Some lies are necessary for survival or even just for convenience’s sake. But there are some things you shouldn’t ever lie about because doing so will only end in disaster – trust me!
If any of these sound familiar, stop lying now before your life is ruined (or at least make sure someone else knows what you’re up to).

The great enemy of the truth is often not the lie–deliberate, contrived, and dishonest–but the myth–persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often, we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears.
We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.
