The Truth

By John H. Sklare, Ed.D, Lifescript Personal Coach
One of the basic life philosophies I believe in is telling the truth. I’m often dismayed by those who deny or obstruct it. As I’ve been known to say many times, “you may not like what I have to say but you will always know where I stand.” When asked, I tell the truth and tend to respect and admire others that do too. The problem is that telling the truth often means paying a price of some kind. I don’t mean in a monetary sense, but rather paying an emotional or personal price.

James Garfield, the 20^th president of the U.S., said something interesting: “The truth will set you free but first it will make you miserable.” That’s very true in many cases, and it’s wanting to avoid that very state of misery that prevents many people from telling the truth or even facing it. To me, the misery that accompanies telling or facing the truth is much healthier than the fake sense of safety that falsehood provides. My prescription for a healthy and wellness-oriented life demands that you tell the truth and face the truth at all times. And that, my dear friends, is the truth!
