Wherever you go you will find people lying to you, and as your awareness grows, you will notice that you also lie to yourself. Do not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves. You have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not to believe what someone says to you. Miguel Ruiz
About This Quote

“Wherever you go, you will find people lying to you,” reveals the truth that no one is perfect. Everybody lies, but it is important to not become jaded by this discovery. Lie-tellers are only doing this for their own benefit. If you discover that someone is lying to you then simply trust that person less.

As your awareness grows, you will more easily notice that you yourself are also lying to yourself. This means that it’s important to not expect people to tell you the truth because they also lie to themselves. You have to trust yourself and choose to believe or not to believe what someone says to you.

You need to find out for yourself if what someone is telling you is true or not.
