When the truth hurts
When the truth hurts, that’s when you better pay attention. In each painful truth is opportunity for new strength.
Those who agree when they know you are wrong are doing you no favor. Listen instead to those who care enough to tell the truth even when you don’t want to hear it.
If you run from the truth it will soon overwhelm you. If you fight against the truth, you will lose.
Choose instead to face the truth. Learn from it, do what you must to align yourself with it, and grow stronger.
When it hurts to hear the truth, be thankful. Because you’ve been given the opportunity to avoid much more pain later on.
Get yourself on the side of truth, whatever it may be. The more the truth hurts, the more it can help you.
-Ralph S. Marston
