Face To Face

Susan Gale says, "Sometimes it's easier to just go ahead and face the truth than to spend the rest of your life trying to hide from it." If you are anything like me, you probably operate in your own personal comfort zone. It's how we deal with things, right?

The truth has power, like a surgeon's knife. It hurts to meet it face to face. When I have the knife (truth), I have the power to cut the cancerous lie. But when the knife (truth) is in another's hands I often run, squirm, scream, and/or barricade myself within the comfort of my lies to protect myself from the hurt. Valuing truth is a process that takes a lifetime of accepting its power to guide your responses in every situation especially over the comfortable barricades of lies. 
​
Work to see the truth over opinions, trends, fads and fashions. Then implement its power carefully and calmly as a surgeon would, cut away the bad from the good. Keep in mind that healing can only happen when the knife of truth is in play with yourself first and then with others.  Long term success comes from playing the game of life truthfully!
