After hearing what CopyBlogger has blogged about How to tell the truth, Brian Clark mentioned that telling a story is the solution. Telling the truth can get a lot of attention, especially when people are sick of being lied and betrayed. And if people reject what you have said (whether it is true or not), you are back where you started.
I have some thoughts about the truth. Truth is all about being positive. When you are truthful, you experience real growth. You admit your mistakes, you learn from where you have gone wrong. You embrace your success, you gain credibility.
A lot of people tend to fake their ways to make it to the top. They feel that this is the real world that they are in. But they are in the wrong because they will only attract like-minded people and make their “real world” even more “realistic”. People will leave them. They are just afraid of other “dogs” eating themselves who are “dogs” too.
The real benefits of being truthful is with the new experience you gain. You can get all the real benefits of growth. You will attract both truthful people, as well as the “real world” people. Both will respect you. But the “real world” people will try to protect you in such a way that it somehow restricts your growth as well.
Anther benefit is that you don’t have to remember all your lies. And when you remember your lies, you tried to use another lie to cover this lie. This is just making things more complicated.
Why don’t we just be positive in life? Don’t you think so, Brian?
