Dealing with the truth

  • When you have a choice between telling the truth or protecting someone’s feelings, it’s better to go with the truth, in a respectful way.
  • Default to blaming yourself and what you control rather than looking for outside excuses. 
  • Check the sources of your beliefs. Ask yourself how you know what you’re saying. Did you research it? Or are you repeating a belief of the box you’re in? 
  • Choose truth over comfort. If an idea or some research offends you, that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

The comfort zone is a terrible guide

The comfort zone is not good in telling you what you should do or not do. Nor is it just these two categories. Stabbing yourself with a pencil is outside the comfort zone and bad for you. Walking is inside your comfort zone (running is not) but that doesn't mean you shouldn't go ...

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone
