Telling the Truth Despite the Consequences
You lie because you are afraid of what might happen, if you tell the truth. You're afraid you can't handle the consequences. But then the lie becomes a problem and you suffer worse consequences.
So instead of worrying about the consequences as your first priority, make it your second priority. Tell the truth as your first priority and then deal with the consequences.
What Are These Seven Benefits of Telling the Truth
1. Because you tell the truth, you don't have to remember what you said to whom. You won't accidentally contradict yourself.
2. You earn the reputation as an honest person. If you are a manager, your staff members tell each other, "Our boss might be more honest about your work than you sometimes want to hear, but it's better to know the truth."
3. People follow your example and are more truthful to you.
4. Your stress level drops. You sleep better, eat better and look better.
5. You can look at yourself in the mirror. Lying causes self-criticism and depression. Honesty causes self-confidence and pride.
6. You are more persuasive. To be persuasive, you need to be believable. To be believable, you must be truthful.
7. Best of all, you are trustworthy. When people can trust you, you earn their support. You need peoples' support to reach your goals.
