It’s hard to find real people nowadays. Even their pictures are filtered. It’s a minefield getting through the BS to find the true person inside.

There are countless fake profiles on Facebook, Instagram and X. Recently a client of mine was approached by a fake “friend” who tried to entice him into a crypto scam. Another friend of mine lost over $300,000 in a similar scam. How do the scammers live with themselves?

People are guarded, afraid to show you who they really are. Their social media accounts make it appear that they are living perfect lives. We know this isn’t true. And don’t mistake what I’m saying. I’m genuinely happy for the good times in their lives.

One thing I have found to be true is, if you enter conversations in an open, unguarded way, your counter party will be open as well. This is where connection happens. No more surface conversations. Just real talk.

God intended us to be in relationship with others. He said it “isn’t good for man to be alone.” We need each other.

Bring the real you to the table. Not the version of yourself you believe others want. Be yourself…
