Truth sets you free.
Truth is easy.
Truth doesn’t catch you out.
Truth never needs to be remembered.
Truth creates connection.
Truth.
My daughter told me a lie this week.
Within 10 minutes she had owned up to it.
I cupped my hands around her chin. I looked into her eyes and I told her how proud I was of her.
She looked at me. So confused.
“What, you are proud of me for lying?’
I looked back into her eyes and I told her this …
Awareness is the first step to change. The second step is taking action on that awareness.
As I witnessed the shame visibly showing all over her face, I held her tight.
She explained to me that she just couldn’t stop herself. The story sounded better that way.
I told her it was ok and that I knew anyway.? I told her that to be able to admit it to me so quickly was more than many adults can do.
Truth.
My favourite superpower. Who wants to fly anyway Batman ;)
Until next time
CPL :)
