I must say it is refreshing to finally hear people speak their truth.. We have become a nation of liars from the simple "I will be with you in 5 min" to the "I promise when I am elected {fill in the blank} to what little old ladies refereed to as the "white" lie. People build dating pages full of them, make fake Facebook pages, lie that your sick to get out of work, as you can see there is no need to go on. I found this in myself many years ago and asked myself why? why do we all lie? A better question is why do we Hide the Truth. Why are we afraid to call a spade and spade? why are we afraid to say "Hey you told me 5 mins and I have been here 15" and if you do why does that person get mad that you told them the truth?????? Just say "Hey, I am sorry I just said that because I don't know how long it will be but I have to lie and tell you something so it will look like I know what I am doing" Yeah like that is ever going to happen but at least a acknowledge of the lie is better then getting mad you got caught but you see once again I am just skimming the surface. The women behind the counter her lie goes deeper. she doesn't want to be working there but she has to, It's not a career for her, its not something see loves, its just a pay check. See we have taught our children to lie by our behavior and then they grow up hiding who they are and trying all their lives to live up to the lie they are trying to create and when they cant do it anymore they turn to drugs and alcohol, sex, food you name it. They lose their dreams and end up working a job they hate, probable living in a town they feel stuck in... it goes on and on but the beauty of Truth is that it does set you free. Free to be yourself. It is not easy living your truth believe me I have lost many a friend and marriages over living my truth and staying true to myself and my values. When my dad died my whole world changed and I asked myself when I die what do I want to be remembered as and it was being my authentic self. My Dad passed in the early 90 and it has been a journey to remove all the lies others told me and that I told myself to discover the hidden truth of who am I and why I felt so unworthy to tell the truth, one of the most preached virtue but the one most staring us in that face that everyone is doing from commercials, to food labels,to history to warfare to our own government. We preach to our kids to tell the truth or they will get punished but yet everyday we live our own personal lies. It's no wonder this generation has given up, I would too if I was them we are a bunch of hypocrites.. God said the Truth shall set you free and that is NO LIE!! Telling the truth can be painful to the person telling it and the person receiving it but truth is like a sword one side there is pain but on the other is joy. joy in being YOU!! in knowing that all those around you truly love and care for you, that the job you have chosen is what is best for you not just because you need the money. That you have system in place that is transparent and is working toward the greater good of all mankind and our home planet. Like i said it isn't easy but it is worth it and it all starts with each one of us speaking our truth and not excepting less then the truth from each other. We must teach other again its okay to be honest, that the key to unite is truth, trust and love. There is no higher calling in this life then to live honestly. Truth is a mighty weapon but also can be the saving grace...Keep in mind that there is one thing about the TRUTH, it needs no defense, it just IS!!! ♥
