Write Your Story: How Radical Honesty Makes You Unstoppable

When someone asks, “how are you doing?” Do you smile and say “I’m fine”? 

Or do you tell the truth? 

You might have a thousand reasons for holding back your truth in the face of a relatively benign question like “how are you doing?” — some of which may even be justified. But I suppose a better question is: do you know what is true for you? 

Are you in touch with your own truth? 

Are you able to share it with at least one trusted person? 

And have you considered the power and possibility of sharing your truth more broadly? 

This is what I’m exploring in today's episode. No matter how impossible it might seem to tell the truth — no matter who you think it might hurt or what you worry would unravel, the old maxim is right: only really the truth can set you free.
