Being Truthful
Telling the truth is more than just not lying to others. It is about being honest to yourself. This is the real meaning of being truthful. When you make the decision to be truthful in your thoughts, deeds and actions – you are committing to living an authentic life. That is to say, a life that is based in the reality of this world, and not caught up in the drama of the world that you – or those around you – wish to have or have worked so hard to manufacture.
Being truthful lifts an incredible burden off of your shoulders. For starters, you don’t have to worry about telling people something, and then having to remember what you told them. The truth is the truth and you don’t need to try to remember it.
Thanksgiving
Out of all the holidays I enjoy this one the most. The shopping rush hasn’t <yet> begun. I get a few days of vacation from work and the weather has not yet turned super cold.
To me, it is about being thankful for being who I am right now, living in a free country where I am able to work and play in ways that I choose – without fear. I may not like everything that has happened to me or everything I have done or do, but at least I have a choice in the matter.
What does thanksgiving mean to you?
