Sunday, March 11, 2018 - Motivational Quotes of the Day! Good Morning Everyone!
Again, I want to apologize to everyone for not being able to respond to some of the wonderful and great comments made on the quotes from Wednesday through Saturday while I was on a mission to relieve veterans of their medical debt in San Diego, CA. More to follow on that in the coming days. Thanks!
Today is: "Truth Day! Why Not?
"Truth is power and wisdom. When we hear it, whether we understand it or not we are attracted to the truth. When we hear an untruth we distance ourselves from it. Leaders without truth will fall and perish in good time." — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
The Quote in the Picture Today Reads: "Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters." — Albert Einstein
"Truth is the backbone of character." — Henry F. Kletzing
"Truthful lips endure forever, the lying tongue, for only a moment." — Bible, Proverbs 12:19
"If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground, it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power that the day it bursts through it will blow up everything in its way." — Emile Zola
"Truth will ultimately prevail where there is pains taken to bring it to light." — George Washington
"Truth is the highest thing that man may keep." — Geoffrey Chaucer
"Tell the truth, or someone will tell it for you." — Edgar Watson Howe
"Treat kindly every miserable truth that knocks begging at your door, otherwise you will some day fail to recognize Truth Himself when He comes in rags." — Austin O'Malley

Lying like a number of other offenses, is a "slippery slope ". At girst, there is some supposed justification such as, "I didn't want to hurt feelings" or it was not important or I was embarrassed but it can quickly escalate. Once you start down that road, it's tough to turn around.

Truth...an interesting topic. Why? The truth is as much a responsibility of the speaker of it as it is in the understanding of its receiver. Sometimes it is wise to have someone you truly trust to help differentiate between truth and untruth. Untruths are manipulative and self-serving while truth generally applies to serving others...even if they don't always like to hear it. However, some truths can be judgemental in nature...so we must be careful how they are catalogued in our minds. For instance, when I was a young officer I can remember a very senior military advisor in my reserve unit who I would often come to and ask what does this mean? He would almost always say, "what does the regulation say about it". You see, I knew he knew...and he knew he knew...but he was teaching me to rely on myself and dig. Was he lying to me, or manipulating me...no and no. Because of his unwillingness to share an easy route to the truth...I learned much more than I would have. There is as much responsibility to deciding what is truth? A convenience as in self-serving, an obfuscation of fact or the denial of it, or simply a way to not reveal so that others learn? Ha...the truth about truth is important.

Telling the truth seems to be one of the hardest things for people to be consistent on. Trust is the key to every relationship- and the foundation of building trust comes from the truth. Great thought today COL Mikel J. Burroughs

I always say what ij know to be true. I will not be called a liar or thought of as a person of bad character.
I have learned over the past few years however, to just say nothing.
