Life in the Middle with Sharona Patrice
Episode 27: To Tell The Truth
Let's just be honest...we are all out here telling lies.
We are bathed and surrounded by a culture of dishonesty. We are constantly lying. From white lies to major deceptions, we avoid telling the truth to protect feelings, serve personal agendas, and maintain false harmony. I'm talking about some of the reasons honesty can be so challenging and what we can do to start telling the truth.
Are you ready to tell the truth?
Episode Gems:
“When a person lies, it's not about you. When somebody's lying to you, they're not lying to you, they're lying to themselves.”
“We don't want to have difficult conversations. It's easier to ignore and avoid things and just think that they're going to go away.”
“There is so much dishonesty in our daily lives. We lie to ourselves. We lie to other people, we lie to the people who are close to us.”
