This is Martha Beck's second of four articles on Getting your life back on track, Know the Truth.
In truth, no pun intended, it's all about conquering your fear in order to begin the healing process and become who you are. Inner strength can only be found on the inside.
What is your truth and why is it necessary to face it, own it and express it? Martha says it represents freedom and I'm sure many of you can relate to that, scary though it sounds. It's important to accept one's self.
It doesn't matter how uncomfortable you feel you know, just the fact of saying "I am responsible for ..." lifts a weight off your shoulder and starts a positive change reaction in your life.
I had just such an experience which I describe in Schlepping to the well of stillness.

Hidden truths cement negative situations.
How often have you lied just to keep the peace, remained silent when someone was cruel, or said that you were okay in a particular situation when in fact you were not?
Making others feel alright when you are not is the worst of lies. Don't you think it's time you stopped and owned up to your feelings?
Change feels scary too and yet, only good comes from both but you won't know until you take that first step. Open up to the truths that are affecting your life.
Were you an abused child; are you nurturing a long-held grudge against someone; do you suspect your spouse is being unfaithful but you're afraid to bring it up? Whatever it is, let it out!
Truth is always scary.

Go within - to your well of stillness.
Being quiet is the only way to get to the real heart of the matter. When you're there write down these statements and complete them honestly:
- What I really don't want to know is that ...
- I'm avoiding looking at the fact that ...
- The absolute bottom line truth about my life is...
- The thing I'm avoiding thinking about is...
The feelings are going to rise, your heart is going to hurt and the tears are going to fall and you're going to feel like running away; don't.
Stay with the feelings in the stillness; they will peak then gently fade away. The cleansing and the feeling of peace at the end is amazing.
So end's Martha's wisdom. It is all about you honey, no one else. You'll soon be tapping into an inner strength you didn't know you had!
