getting caught

Everyone has dreams.  Everyone has goals.  But what really makes the difference is not everyone has a plan.

That is what differentiates the winners from the losers.  The plan, and the willingness to do what must be done, even when you do not feel like it.  That is discipline.  To do what you have decided you must do, even if you hate it, like you love it.

There are thousands of people who want what you want.

There are thousands of people trying do to what you do.

There are people trying to steal your job.

There are people trying to steal your work, your clients, your girl.

There are people who will lie, cheat, and steal their way as far as they can go.  And sometimes, that will get them pretty far.

What you have to realize is eventually they will be found out.

Eventually their well deserved reputation will catch up with them.

Even now, they are afraid they will be found out.

They are afraid their lies will catch up with them.

They are afraid of getting caught.

While you rest easy, they are afraid.  That is worth it right there.  To sleep easy at night, and know they are living a nightmare.

The right thing, is always the right thing, and by doing the right thing, you can look at yourself in the mirror and be proud.

You can look in the mirror and know what needs to be done, and do it.

You can look in the mirror with love and know that you are the type of person worth working hard for.

And the best thing about it is just the same way as the people who lie, cheat, and steal eventually get caught, the people who are honest, truthful, and do the right thing get caught doing that too.

The outcome is a little different.  One destroys your reputation, and the other grows it.

I know which side of things I’d rather get caught doing.
