Living the Truthful Life

Living truthful is its simplest form is ensuring your actions match your words. The word used to describe this is ‘integrity’. However, living the truthful life doesn’t mean you have to explain your life away to everyone you meet. You don’t have correct some rumour you might hear being spread about you, because your actions will tell the truth.

But living the truthful life is not just about how we behave outwardly; it is also about being honest with ourselves. I have written so many articles this year about finding success, and this is just another way of looking at things.

You may remember I spoke about finding purpose, to understand this you need to understand yourself, you need to know your own truth. I spoke about 4 influences that we need in life, this about people speaking in our lives to remind us of our truth. Setting boundaries is about staying true to yourself and understand the next right move is about understanding how much you need to explain yourself and your truth.

Because when you have all these together you become courageous, because you’re confident to go out there and be the person you are meant to be, without worrying about what others think. You are able to go out and achieve your dreams and not have to justify yourself in its midst.

You become crafty, as you figure what it is you offer the world and understand what you need to do to achieve it, because you know each move that is needed. Yet still remain true to yourself and others, because truth means you can use less to achieve more. The hardest part about this of course is knowing exactly what your gift to the world is, so it’s important to take time to figure it out.

Listen to your heart and as in previous article, listen to what the universe around you is saying. Sit with nature, become content in your own company and listen to the voice you have within. You still need the opinion of those who love you and know you, and it is important to consider those options. But you must always be the driver of your own force and the driver of your destiny.

There will always be those who try to shorten the life of your dreams, and those whose only intention is to bring you down with lies and half-truths, and with this we must be cautious as negativity is easier to believe then truth. It is with continued actions of truth that will speak louder than words.

A part of understanding your purpose and hearing what the universe has to say is understanding when we are wrong and are knocking on wrong doors. We’re all human, sometimes we think it our passion we follow but in fact we are making no progress. To be true to ourselves we need to know when to quit what isn't working.

The final part of the living truthful is being willing to make sacrifices, we all want the easy and peaceful life. But by living out our truth it’s going to be hard, we don’t want to think about human trafficking, the homeless or the person next door, we all just want to live. But to live out our purpose means we have to deal with difficult situations, because it’s how we learn our truth.

And of course, living truthful also means knowing that ‘if you tell the truth then you have nothing to remember’. You see truth is a force not a thought. It’s how we are able to live in peace, an example situation that I am sure we have all be in, we have some kind of secret and you’re keeping it from those you love, and it’s gone on for so long that it begins to eat you up inside? Or have you ever been the ‘Yes’ person that say yes to everything because you don’t want to look bad? But it causes you anxiety because really you want to say no.

It’s hard living in truth, because the truth hurts but it also brings relief. For those who have the secret stashed away for so long, when you finally find the confidence to tell someone the truth, you find that the people who love you the most accept it and those who know you the most already suspected it. For the yes person, by saying no, it hurts the other, but to the yes person it gives a sense of relief, and if you’ve told the truth then the only thing that the other person has to deal with is themselves.

So, you see living truth isn’t easy, but it means we are always living in peace, we are always by our own rules. Doing the things we want, the way we want. As I have said before, as long as we don’t stop others from getting what they want then we have the right to choose how we do life truthfully.
