Last week I shared a post with you concerning an Internet scam artist named Colin Lewis. Many of us had known about his scams since the July timeframe, yet we all stayed silent, mostly. Why? Because there was an innocent woman and small children involved at the time - people who Colin had wooed so masterfully and then abandoned so cruelly here in the states. We all wanted to give them the chance to recover from Colin's atrocities. Now that the story is out - so many are coming forward to say how much better they feel now that they can share the truth. Isn't that how it always is? We sometimes dread stepping up for the truth - especially when it's an unpopular position. We fret and fear, wonder how people will react and then finally - when we do step up - we feel so much better. What's more - usually people embrace the truth much better than we expected. So right now, ask yourself: • Is there a truth I'm not sharing- about my business, my value, my customers, my product, my dreams, my life? • Is there a truth I'm not willing to see because of the potential downsides and repercussions if I do see it? We all are trained to avoid conflict and the ugly situations in our lives. It's all part of being human. The good news is that we can learn to ditch those gravity beliefs. We can pivot to a passion for the truth in all its crazy forms. For only from the truth can we truly grow. Funny isn't it? In a way our "friend" Colin (and I use the term friend loosely) taught us all another lesson - beyond the obvious ones. Colin reminded us of the value of pursuing and sharing our truth - in all of its ugly, sometimes painful, often hard to believe forms. The truth really does set us free.
