I've written before about living your truth. About the necessity to practice transparency, honesty and openness. The necessity to express your honest opinion, be who you are and present yourself in the most honest terms that you can. This is necessary. This is needed.
For example, If people ask your opinion and you give them your honest opinion, the consequences will be held on both sides. They may not talk to you anymore if you are honest and they dont' like it, or you may say something that you don't intend to come out in a certain way thus hurting them and the relationship. This is a risk that we take in being honest and living who we are.
When you live your truth, that means that you are the most authentic copy of who you are. You are the most real with yourself that you can be. It is about acting out of integrity and following your values to take lead...not others opinion or your false self. Remember this? I've written about this before...for more details read every other blog I've ever written :)
But what's the problem with this?
I believe that when we become too fixed with what our truth is...when we become settled and decided on our values and who we are...many can then close off the possibility of more. We become closed to possibilities of our own ability to change and be moved. We shut down the possibility to movement within our own selves. BAD!
Therefore, I believe that what is more important than truth is insight. Insight is flexible, open and willing. It considers, pauses and searches. Insight will stump truth, it will remove truth and ask it to change and stretch it's own definition. Insight creates truth, it is the big brother, the cool uncle that takes you out to strip clubs. Go Insight!
So how to do you build it?
It is a painful and slow process but the simple answer is to learn to be wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Yep. What better way to learn who you are than to learn that what you believe and the things that you hold as true are not correct. Read that one again!
Insight comes down to our ability to see the other side, to flip the coin over and know that we have been fooling ourselves. Insight is learning to be surprised, learning to let control go because when we do, when we empty control, what it gets filled with is insight and consideration. In not holding anything as FACT and knowing, we then become open to possibility and the more possibility you know, the more insight you have. So you see, insight is about knowing more possibilities. Knowing that you are wrong, knowing how to use it and knowing that others can be right despite how "right" you feel you are.
Let go of expectation, let in possibility, choose insight over truth, see things in 3D, and flip coins.
