Sometimes it is difficult to say the truth. It is not pleasant to see the receiving person cringe - or become withdrawn / angry - all because of what you said.
I have a great big heart and all I want to do is make someone smile and laugh. I want to see the world enjoy themselves and be happy, experience love and grace. It pains me to be the one to speak the truth, when I know it is not easily received.
I have to remember that through this process of opening my mouth, I am also growing. I am learning how to deliver messages that are not potentially pleasing, but can be received well.
My mother used to tell me that you catch more flies with honey, rather than vinegar. You can say the same thing two totally opposite ways. I am learning the process of speaking the truth, getting my point across, and allowing the recipient to receive my words.
It is all apart of the process. I am just learning to not make the process reliant on me (it never was - I only thought it was.....silly rabbit ~ tricks are for kids).
