Episode 177 - It's A Lie

How often do you speak absolute truth?

In today’s episode, Kellan talks about truth. What is truth? Is there such a thing as truth? Kellan tells us it’s sometimes difficult to know what the truth is, and that we often find out that things we once held to be true aren’t so. 

Truth, as defined in this episode, is the knowledge of things as they really are. Kellan reflects on some of the fundamental truths that affect our lives, and asks us to assess our own relationship with the truth: do we always speak and act in truth? 

In contrast to truth, Kellan also talks about lying – lying to yourself, lying to others, and being lied to. He tells us that when we lie to ourselves about why we don’t accomplish our goals, we create bigger barriers than the actual barriers that we think stand in our way. Even with the best intentions, Kellan says we cause more harm when we lie to others.

When someone lies to you, it says more about them than it does about you, so let it be. Sticking to the truth is the fastest way to move toward your ultimate life.

Key Takeaways:

• “It’s sometimes difficult to know what is true, and what someone’s opinion is. It’s often required to think carefully about what you’re being given or told.”
• “If you’re terrified that you can’t do anything because it might be wrong, then you end up doing nothing.”
• “There’s a difficult process that happens when we sort our way through the things that we thought were true but weren’t.”
• “Truth is the knowledge of things as they really are – not subject to interpretation.”
• “There is such a thing as truth, and that decision is fundamental to how I operate life.”
• “Live in the knowledge that there is truth, and assess your own relationship with the truth: do you tell the truth?”
• “The most insidious lying is lying to yourself.”
• “Lying to yourself about why you aren’t accomplishing your goals is a bigger barrier than the actual barriers that you think are in the way of what you’re trying to accomplish.”
• “It is never the case that you are protecting someone by lying and hiding things from them.”
• “If someone is lying to you, it is simply a statement about themselves – let it be so.”
