as truth be told

Have you ever heard the wife or have you asked your honey to tell you the truth about how she or how you look in a dress?  And you even hear,
Tell me the truth, and I promise not to get mad.  I think every man has gotten tricked into that one! 

The truth, when it reveals itself, it can have many effects on a person.  I believe that it can have mostly positive effects, but there are times when the blatant, the outright, the nothing but the nothing truth, can hurt and have detrimental effects on a person if that person is not ready to receive the truth or has been avoiding the truth for whatever the fear may be.  Most people prefer to hear the truth, but many can live out their whole lives withholding the truth and taking it to their graves.  

For example, what is the outright truth about physical or mental health?  Do people who aren't ready to endure the disciplines of maintaining a healthy lifestyle want to one day to next change their eating and or physical habits?  Do you think that those who are very much stable ever want to revert to a slothfully type lifestyle?  Why and why not?  What do they have to do psychologically in order to even consider changing that way that they are eating and or over indulging.  


Where do you fall when it comes to knowing your truth?  Has life given you things that have made you too scared to face some truth about yourself, your family, your work, your marriage, your finances, your health, your relationships, and etc.?  
What about the truth that no one on this planet is poor but only appears to be so because he thinks so?!  As a man thinketh, so is he... Contemplate on that truth!  

With Love,

Believe me, you can handle any truth!  Truth is what will set you free...
