Truth Be Told

Today's post is about the power of the truth.  Once something is done, the effects have already been set in motion.  Now you may not see them for day, months, or years later, but there is a reaction to every thing that happens in life.  Good or bad it's already out there and eventually you will be faced with either fessing up, or denying.  It's your character that will determine which road you take. Do you live up to your actions, or do you hide behind a lie.

There are sometimes when you wish the truth was different, because you think you know the outcome once it's revealed.  But it is what it is, and there's nothing that can change it.  Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying go out and stand on the top of the mountain and tell all you skeletons to whoever will listen, but you know what I mean.  Telling the truth will always work in your advantage in the end.  Now, the person that heard the truth, may not like the answer but what can you do about the facts?  Can you make 1 + 1 = 3? No it will always be "2", just something you have to deal with. 

When you face the facts, a lot of times you find out that the results aren't as nearly as bad as you would've imagined.  Just think about when you were a kid, you did something that you "thought" you were going to get in trouble but when you fessed up, your parents was just like, it's ok.  It's just like that.  A lot of time we make up scenarios on our heads and always think of the worst possible outcome.  And most of the time, the actual outcome is nothing like we imagined. But if you decided to lie about it, almost 100% of the time, the result is 10x worst than you expected in the beginning.  Especially when it comes out later, and  you have a chance to fess up.  That's always the worst that could happen.

The way I see it, if it happens own up to it.  If it's something that you don't wish to disclose, don't lie and say it never happened.  Just tell the person, it's none of their business.  You have that right, but don't lie.  It only makes it worst for you in the end.
