Scanning Hulu.com I saw the movie title Truth or Consequences fly by. It reminds me that there is only ever the truth about something or the consequences.
The Truth?
Does this sound familiar?
The truth is “I could’ve been friendlier with the new employee just now, could have asked about her move here” because the consequence weeks later will be “It’s no wonder she never warmed up to me. Now she thinks I slight her. I’m at the bottom of her list.”
The truth is “One day I’ll have hurt my health with all this stress and lousy eating” because the consequence is “I sure hope the doctor can help me. The last one couldn’t. Gosh, I better not lose my job ever – – I need the insurance for all these doctor visits.”
Or The Consequences?
Does this sound familiar?
The truth is “I have to find more clients. Since I hate cold calling, I better work my network today to get a warm introduction to the buyer at Acme Corporation” because the consequence is “I procrastinated too much. I was too anxious, I didn’t get coaching, and now I’m getting fired.”
There’s only ever the truth or the consequences.
