It is difficult to describe the sense of freedom and peace that comes from breaking through fears to tell the truth. But once you have experienced this dimension of truth telling in your relationships, you will never want to settle for less.
~ Layne and Paul Cutright, Straight from the Heart
No matter how elaborately it is disguised, the truth always reveals itself in the end. Why not tell the truth now, and face our fears head on, instead of burying the truth and living in perpetual fear of every little tremor we feel underfoot. It takes courage to be authentic. It take courage to spill the beans when we know the other person hates beans. But if beans are all you have, why pretend they are grapes?
~ Paul Ferrini, Enlightenment for Everyone
“The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.”
~ M. Scott Peck
