Sometimes people lie because they don&#8217;t know the truth. Sometimes they lie because the truth demands a level of courage, honesty, or accountability they don\u2019t have or aren&#8217;t ready to show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lies walk, but truths run! No matter how fast a lie runs, the truth eventually catches up. So, whether we&#8217;re giving work-related feedback or a personal compliment, the truth holds. It takes a long time to build honesty (truth), but it takes only seconds to destroy it with a lie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which do you prefer to hear: The truth that hurts or a lie that makes you feel better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which do you prefer to tell: The truth that hurts or a lie that makes you feel better?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wishing you a peaceful All Saints\u2019 Day (La Toussaint)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The greatest truth is that time is the one thing we can never get back.
