It is what it is!

This is one of my favorite, statements. Because it is the beginning of change. I first must face what is the truth. Then I can begin to change.

Human beings are masters of disconnect. We like to put off anything that may make us uncomfortable. Jamie Buckingham, a pastor and writer, I loved, once wrote a book titled, " The Truth Will Set You Free, But First It Will Make You Miserable." I loved that title.

The first step to transforming your life and being free, it facing the truth.

Here are several tactics or traps we fall into with the ego, to block this from happening:

Denial- there is no problem, or need for change.

Projection- you are the problem, or let's focus on your problems.

Disassociation- you disconnect from the problem or issue. It's not my problem.

Addiction- lets cover, medicate or numb ourselves from the problem with busyness, food, sex, relationship etc...anything that can distract.

The solution, Get Real Honest with God, yourself and others. Life and true spirituality always involves all three relationships. God, myself and others.
