Honesty doesn’t mean you can’t deceive others; it means you can’t deceive yourself.
Take seeing an attractive woman and wanting to marry her, or spotting gold and wanting to pick it up. In someone else’s hands, that’s greed and lust. But in yours? It’s called career and love.
It’s the same thing, get it? You’re just really good at slapping a halo on your own forehead.
Most hustling isn’t nearly as complicated as people make it out to be. It’s desire. Once you nail that down, you can properly read how other people treat you.
