We must learn to honor ourselves with truth.
By being honest with ourselves and not allowing others’ non-truths into our psyche, we acknowledge that we love and respect ourselves.
By respecting ourselves, we don’t accept other’s false realities.
Iyanla Vanzant recognized that, for most of us, it isn’t difficult to tell when someone isn’t being truthful with us; the challenge is how to call them on their non-truth. She suggested we reply, “While that may sound truthful to you, it doesn’t feel truthful to me.”
What a great line!
When we are truthful and transparent with ourselves, we remember our divine nature and we do not let anyone treat us with a lack of respect or dignity.
I’d love to hear your experiences, tell me about a time where you had an expectation not met and you had to work in truth and transparency to solve the situation?
With love,
Maria
