In order to stand for your truth and speak your truth, you need to know your truth.And to know your truth you need to know yourself. And that means looking within, to examine and question each and every part of your existence to truly examine your own feelings. Many peoples' issues are clouded with the beliefs that they have about themselves, that they hold to be true, but which simply are not Those beliefs may have been given to them through others' opinions or words; or from their own emotional opinions or reactions to things that have happened in their life; or the belief systems that have been an integral part of their lives - both past and present. Few people have the ability to see through to their core: to see themselves as they truly are. Find yourself first and then find your truths.
