Also I used to think that one day I might get someone to iron my shirts but the truth is I really like doing them myself.
I'm someone who believes the truth needs to be heard. And if I'm empowered with the truth I'm not going to shut up.
A gaffe in Washington is someone telling the truth and telling the truth has never hurt me.
Reclaiming the word 'fat' was the most empowering step in my progress. I stopped using it for insult or degradation and instead replaced it with truth because the truth is that I am fat and that's ok. So now when someone calls me fat I agree whereas before I would get embarrassed and emotional.
I wish I had coined the phrase 'tyranny of choice ' but someone beat me to it. The counterintuitive truth is that have an abundance of options does not make you feel privileged and indulged too many options make you feel like all of them are wrong and that you are wrong if you choose any of them.
Because no matter what you say in life the truth will always be the truth. You know when someone is telling the truth you look in the eyes. I have a tendency to believe people.
The truth is the secular world isn't too enamored with Jesus. And they're not too enamored with someone who is leading people to Jesus. So if you're out there talking about people's sins and you're talking about righteousness you will get pushback. Jesus Himself did. The apostles did. I mean there's persecution all up and down the line.
I pefer an ugly truth to a pretty lie. If someone is telling me the truth that is when I will give my heart.
I cringe at backstory. Because it never quite explains or gets into some psychological thing that is never quite right and never quite the truth and who knows why someone is some way.
It is only a man's own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else's meal like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.
