Ready to Ditch the Excuses and Get on with Your Life?
It’s time to discover your personal truth
What is it about facing the truth that scares us?
From our earliest memories, we’re taught to be honest and forthcoming in our relationships with others. We’re admonished for telling lies and cautioned against concealing knowledge or information that could impact another’s perceptions or decisions in a negative way.
We’re encouraged to “just be ourselves,” because without fully revealing our thoughts, no one would know who we truly are.
But despite those early admonitions, few of us practice full disclosure. We hold back, often presenting a public persona that is very different from our genuine selves.
And it begs the question …
How did our inclination to withhold the truth — to use deception if necessary — evolve into common behavior in the way we communicate with others?
For many of us, we learned by example — from watching, observing, and listening to conversations of others. And all too often, deciphering the truth became a challenge — one requiring more skill or knowledge than we had at our disposal.
