THE TRUTH

Do you really want to know the truth?

I have come to terms with looking the truth in the eye and dealing with what stands before me. I can say with all honesty that it was not an appealing picture, but it was and is an enormous opportunity for me to experience life changing growth.

I had a very good friend tell me recently, “Would it have been better for you had you never known? What it had been easier for you if you continued to pretend this was not happening to you” I told him that I thought that his perception was interesting and very common and normal point of view.

Had I always been in the dark would I have ever missed the light?

I asked him if he had ever heard of the ever popular quote “The truth shall set you free”?

In my truth-seeking personal search I have found that periodically the truth is what gets us moving, gets our blood flowing and every so often it is the truth that truly saves our lives from the mediocrity that we have allowed ourselves to settle into. Sometimes in certain types of circumstances we find what our true intention and purpose in this world is and we learn to live life as it was intended to. We find that peace that has always eluded us. We find our smile.

Never fear the truth, it is there to liberate you and make you stronger. One of my favorite quotes has been greatly overused and if you ask any one if they know who originally said the words they never know but the words still ring true even 100 years after this man has died.

Out of life's school of war: What does not destroy me makes me stronger. - Friedrich Nietzsche

Good luck, get stronger.

Writing again and feeling good about it.
