Good morning and welcome to a brand new day.

In my post today I will talk about a common trend nowadays in our world today. It's a trend that if care is not taken it will lead to the downfall of a lot of people even before they know it. This is because after all the forth and back the people that are active in this trend do not progress but always regress.
Wondering what I'm talking about?
Let's start this way.
Do you come across some people who live a fake life?
People who claims to be rich in order to deceive others.
Errm, perhaps you are a member of the club of fakers, too?
Let me make something clear to you real quick, if you are one or you know people who are into deceptive lifestyles to trick people into believing they are what they are not - the only person you are fooling is yourself.

It's a known and proven fact from experience and what we see everyday around us that you can only fake it for a while before you return to your status quo. Your real status will surely prevail after a period of time. So, what's the benefits of going through all the stress that comes with fakeness? Why exert so much physical energy in pretending to be someone else?
The major cause of this is often unhealthy competition between friends, colleagues, neighbors etc. You start spending more money that should have been channeled to other sources to please your folks. You want to feel among and be seen as a big boy or a rich dude. You started off to proof a point to someone, so what do you gain afterwards?
The spirit that follows unhealthy competition is a deadly one that could make people go extra miles to proof their point. It makes you do anything, spend excessively, get money through any means to maintain that false standard. On the long run, you get frustrated and depressed when you have lost all your have acquired to the life of falsehood.
Why not have a rethink?
Why not channel the same energy to live a real life?
You would be dazed when you put the same level of energy, time and money into doing the right thing. It will have a more profitable ending because it's genuine. Instead of faking being rich to impress your girlfriend, friends etc, why not use the money wisely and let them know your strength. Fake life puts unnecessary stress on you. The same amount of money you spend on looking and faking rich can actually make you rich if you plan and invest wisely.
When you deceive people for a long time, you end up deceiving yourself because they would have known your gimmicks and further help you fool yourself.
Desist from a fake life it's not worth it.
