POWER OF TRUTH

PART 3: "Philippians 4:7"

Once we become aware of the reality of truth, the world's lies, fabrications, deceit, and deceptions become clearly evident. As we begin to see and recognize the truth, we automatically start to identify untruths and understand the clear and present dangers they pose to us, our relationships, and our lives.

With the knowledge of truth, the lines between right and wrong are no longer blurred. We can now recognize the value of honesty for ourselves and those we care about. We understand that if we choose to ignore potential future consequences, the suffering we endure will be a result of our own actions. By knowing the truth, we also become aware of the suffering that is perpetuated by falsehoods. More importantly, we begin to realize that we can anticipate this suffering ahead of time, before making decisions or responding in any situation.

The power of genuine truth is remarkable! It helps us recognize potential negative outcomes even before we make any decisions. This awareness enables us to recognize that our old patterns of decision-making and responding are, in fact, a thing of the past.

By understanding and addressing truthfully, our new operating process reduces the stress, struggles, and pressures of daily life. Negative energy no longer invades or occupies our life's space or activities.

There’s a significant lesson regarding negative energy, or "bad mojo": it must always exist somewhere. The universe maintains perfect balance, meaning that both positive and negative energy coexist in harmony. If you refuse to let negative energy into your life or relationships, it will simply find another outlet. There are plenty of people around you who dwell in negative energy zones. Why? Because they thrive on the drama, trauma, and attention it brings, even if it stems from their own pain. They become accustomed to being "comfortably numb" in their own misery.

If you consciously choose not to allow negative people into your life or relationships, their negativity will eventually go elsewhere, leaving you in peace. Why is this? Because facing the truth and its consequences is one thing they want to avoid at all costs.

When people refuse to acknowledge the truth, they create excuses to blame others or deny their own personal responsibility for their failures, poor choices, or inappropriate behaviors.

Avoiding responsibility for their choices and decisions is a comfort zone for some people, as they tend to rationalize their way out of taking accountability for their words and actions.

The benefit for you is that once you distance yourself from them and allow the truth to take precedence, your daily stress, struggles, and conflicts can significantly decrease—potentially even to zero, if you choose. They will no longer drain your life, consuming your time and energy and dragging you down in a continuous spiral of self-pity.

We have control over only two elements: our thoughts and our responses. Once you choose to align yourself with truth in every aspect of your life, you will begin to see it reflected in every situation you encounter. Why? Because truth transcends all of life and understanding. It connects the beginning to the end.

Now the question becomes: Will you accept the challenge of incorporating truth into your life and relationships? Your life is your choice. Your life is your responsibility. Embracing truth is also a choice and a responsibility.
