Trying To Please Everyone….

Being honest with yourself means being able to recognize truth and respond accordingly (accept it). Being politically correct may “save face” temporarily, but in the end, you put a great amount of energy into it without going anywhere. It’s like reving your engine to show off the power of your car, but lacking the ability to move one inch in your drive way. Trying to please everyone only results in a dog and pony show that doesn’t get you paid. After awhile, you’ll find yourself begging on the streets looking for another job. Being “politically correct” is being willfully defiant to God. That’s just straight up truth.
