.:Truth and Nothing but the Truth:.

I came across the levis 501 truth website a while ago. they are conducting a contest cum survey on what the young generation is feeling and experiencing nowadays. the topic is truth and truth will be my topic for this edition.

This topic reminds me of a bumper sticker i saw the other day..it reads 'Stay True to Yourself ' and i tot WTF..motivational speakers often yells this phrase to my ears 'Be True'. what exactly are they saying

Personally the truth about being true to one's self is a hard to swallow concept. it is an idea that requires a person to proudly shout that he or she love him or her self. it's never easy and we are not given an instruction paper on how to be true to our self

Being true to yourself is a hard work. we have to fight temptation to be as gorjass as paris, as skinny as nicole, as suave as brad and orlando, as fashionable as lindsay. these superficials that is playing on our telly and in our brains will awaken mr devil and ms ugly in us. this we are not proud of

So how to stay true to yourself? Follow me people..hold my hands..and i will take to to a journey that you in the end will ponder whether what i say is true.. NO?

On a personal note i think being true to youself is not a behavior rather its a reward that one will receive after completing the being true to yourself journey. to get hold of the reward we must first cherish and treasure every moment or thing that we encounter everyday and learn from it. An act of saying i love you to your other half, kissing your baby as you enters the car, touching your mother's wrinkle face, playing ball throw with your brother, telling your sister they are beautiful..these everyday moments that you treasure will make you stay true to yourself

The things you do everyday wont necessary be all rainbow-sunshine-and-smileys filled..but the most important thing is that we learn from it. LEARN
