Topic: Living In Ignorance And Denial

We do not have the luxury of living in ignorance and denial about any part of our life. We do not have this luxury because ignorance and denial lead to colossal failures in relationships, failures in performance, and failures in all aspects of life. When we pretend we DO NOT know during times when we really DO know, we set our relationships and our life up for grievous mistakes. It is commonly recognized the truth can hurt. What is commonly forgotten is the hurt we put upon ourselves and the hurt we put upon others by ignorance and denial is far greater than the hurt we feel from knowing the truth. When we live in ignorance and denial we keep ourselves from living in the beauty and grandeur of truth, even when the truth hurts. When we live in ignorance and denial we put ourselves in a prison from which there is no escape except telling the truth. The truth sets us free. Ignorance and denial enslave us. The very first step in overcoming obstacles and adversities is to tell the truth about the obstacles and adversities. When we deny there are problems or issues in our life then the problems or issues never get solved. Personal victory comes only to those willing to face the truth. Personal defeat is guaranteed to those who live in ignorance and denial.
