DIRECTNESS:

~

So much of our communication can reflect our need to control.
We say what we think others want to hear. We try to keep
others from getting angry, feeling afraid, going away, or
disliking us. But our need to control traps us into feeling like
victims and martyrs.

Freedom is just a few words away. Those words are our
truths. We can say what we need to say. We can gently, but
assertively, speak our mind.

Let go of your need to control. We do not need to be
judgmental, tactless, blaming, or cruel when we speak our
truths. Neither do we need to hide our light. Let go, and
freely be who we are.

I will be honest with myself and others, knowing that if I
don't, my truth will come out some other way.
