Truth

How do we ever know if someone is telling the truth?

There is so much dishonesty in the world today. Whether it is within our personal or professional relationships, dishonesty exists. Why do people feel compelled to lie or not say anything at all? I know people would rather take the easy road out and blame others for their misgivings. When I go to work I have a difficult time reading others to see if they are being honest with me or not. I put 100% effort into my daily work, and feel satisfied when I leave that I did a good job. Part of the issue comes into play when others have different expectations that they place on us. I have found that the simplest way to deal with this is to ask yourself...Am I honest? Did I do my best? Do I have realistic expectations set out for myself?

If we all asked ourselves this we would live in a less stressful world, with less judgement and the opportunity to be truthful with ourselves and others.
