Truth

The truth is we don't tell ourselves the truth on a consistent basis. When we don't, our lives go off in a direction we really don't like. One of the most amazing things we can do is stop for a few minutes every day, get quiet and tell ourselves the truth.

How do I really feel? What's really going on in my life? What do I really want? Who am I blaming for not having what I really want? What could I do differently that would get me where I want to go?

The importance of this daily practice comes into clear focus when I remind myself that my time on the earth is short. The odds are that I won't die today or even tomorrow. But I could. And the day will come when I do. Telling myself the truth is vital for not wasting what time I have left.
