Tell the Truth

Have you ever had a time when you were afraid to say something to someone, but leaving it left unsaid felt like it was eating you up inside? I know I have. And when finally the words came out—even though extremely difficult and painful to say—the air (and the burden on my shoulders) felt lighter. Yes, the truth can sometimes sting, but the pain of this is less intense than the pain of keeping emotions buried.

Got something to say? Take a deep breath, and…

With Love.

From Over There: weekly focus 7.26.15

Speaking truth from a heart-centered focus is the most profound way you can communicate with others. If it is a difficult subject to convey, and you know in your heart it needs to be expressed, you must do this for your andå the receiver's highest well-being.

Keeping a truth left unspoken creates discord that can lead to physical pain, resentment and low self-worth for the messenger, and a missed opportunity to learn and grow for the receiver. Speaking your truth, with compassion, is a way to reclaim your power and be empowered. 

Taking an active role in speaking your truth will also help you attract individuals who are interested in doing the same. It opens the possibility for you to hear things that may be difficult or challenging, but with that, an opportunity to grow. 

When you communicate in this way, free of manipulation or conditions, you attract into your life fewer who wish to manipulate you. The more you choose truthful communication, the more empowered you are and able to receive important lessons when they are presented to you - and the more self-confident you become.
