So, last night I realized something. I am honest in my words, I am sincere in my actions and I have integrity. Those things will get you pretty far in life. I am surrounded in an industry in which people find it ok to lie, cheat and basically steal. It sucks. Some people lie about little things, others lie about big things. It doesn't really matter what you are lying about really, because in the end people will find out what the truth REALLY is.
I can think of a about a half dozen people, right off the top of my head, that have lied to me about doing a bodybuilding, figure or fitness competition. Men and women. I am commend these people for trying to sculpt their bodies and get on stage almost NAKED, dieting the whole way and being miserable while doing it. It is not an easy feat, it is a very difficult lifestyle and challenge. BUT, what I don't like is when someone LIES right to my face and says they placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd OR EVEN 4th in these competitions. If you are only competing against 1, 2 or 3 other people, BY DEFAULT YOU WILL PLACE! WTF? Really??? I have been disappointed by numerous people over the years who have looked me in the eye after I asked them how they did and they have said with PRIDE, "I placed 1st." Never followed by, I was the only one on stage. I have said congratulations to these people, have looked at them in AWE, because I don't think I could get over being half naked in front of a crowd of people I didn't know, while people were JUDGING ME and THEY WON. But I was disappointed after doing a little recon to find out these people were competing against themselves OR a limited amount of people who weren't anywhere near competition ready. How is that a competition?
I guess the only way to end this rant is to just say what my fiance always says, "The truth will come to the light."
