It doesn’t take explanation to do what is right
To do what makes things better
To say what needs to be said.
Either side of the coin,
When things are tough, tell the truth.
When things are not, tell the truth.
There is no sense in creating stories to make things seem more exciting.
The excitement is in how much you love it, telling it that way
And giving someone else a chance to live it with you too.
We always think everything has to be bigger, better or worth hearing.
That we have to have a punchline or a reason for saying something.
It is so much simpler than that.
Tell the truth from your heart
And your heart will do the rest.
When there is a moment where telling the truth
Is something you do not want to do,
It has nothing to do with the other person at all.
Ask yourself, why is it that you feel like you can not?
Why is your safety an issue?
Is your self esteem unable to accommodate truth?
Is lying something you want to carry around?
Do you want to create distance between you and the other person?
Do you not have respect for yourself enough to simply speak and grow on?
Do you prefer the dramas of lying that cause you to not trust others?
Most who do not tell the truth
Think others are lying,
Are the ones who accuse others of doing things, being things they are not,
Do not like to discuss details
Nor do they enjoy the fruits of self-accountability.
They are the ones who fear their positions,
Their posts in life,
That their charmingness will wear out,
That their cover will be blown,
That maybe they are a fraud altogether.
They will claim to have everything under control,
As if they had to
They will tell you how great they are
As if you needed to hear that.
When someone speaks with their heart
they even allow for those who don’t.
Time to speak, and hear themselves talk
Simply because they already believe they will speak from the heart
And when they find out that is not what is happening
They start feeling used, without words or actions yet.
As time passes and you are in a relationship
You start to realize that the other person doesn’t pay attention to you the way you do to them
That when THEY are happy you are OK, when THEY are NOT, you are in Trouble.
The balance shifts to their moods and the one with heart accommodating the one who speaks in exaggerations of truth and you are left realizing that maybe you have chosen a person who lives in the illusions of their truth and it all is not so real.
Getting to know another person is for these reasons alone.
Is this a person you can depend on?
Does this person bring you peace and joy
Warmth or comfort?
Or are you more fractured with them and more whole without them?
A job, a friend, a partner, a spouse
All the souls who find their way to us
Teach us who we are by what we do not accept from them.
They Hone us into speaking up,
Fighting for our own souls,
Making our way without questions as to what is right or wrong,
through what we are RIPE enough to learn.
We can only learn what we are ready for
And others may serve as a catalyst for such learning’s
Or they may be a soul we are meant to share much more of ourselves with and Our life with.
We try to make everything “forever”
yet there is no time.
There is a bigger picture
And some things are meant to teach us for a moment
And others are meant to carry us for a lifetime.
Accept life for the challenges it gives you
And you will see that life will always have a challenge for you.
It will always, always remain and be
Your level of understanding
And your willingness to learn that will carry you.
Once you can see that
The turmoil’s of what to do, how to be, what to say, and what not to say are already answered.
Our energy proceeds us
And we speak without speaking words.
Trust in the bigger picture of our purpose can carry you through the moments of indecision,
Clarity of your purpose,
Knowledge of your soul.
Understanding that you are not meant to be everywhere at once
Gives you the basis and understanding that you WANT to be where you at least choose to be,
And the places you choose to be will allow you to experience them whole.
