keepin it 100

For the past few years I have used the phrase that I "keep it real" or "keep it 100". But in the past month I have realized that in order for me to fully do this, I need to be ready to hear truth, and to accept it for what it is. I feel like I have heard truth and then ignored it and made excuses for why it is not exactly true. This mindset of not accepting whats true and justifying it has hindered me and my growth as a human being. When you accept the truth, you can then move on in the right direction and to react to the situation in the right way. Honestly when we pretend that something is a different way than it really is, we are just afraid of dealing with the situation that is really there. Honestly, a lot of times, the truth can be painful, but it is very vital to know that you are a strong individual and you can handle it. The truth will set you free, and when you accept the truth you can break away from a situation that is hindering you. So just remember to keep it real with yourself. Don't make excuses anymore.... In fact you can only change if you realize what the problem is. So the outcome of the truth can change if you don't like it. You just gotta pray and make steps for that truth to change from one point to another. Sometimes this doesn't happen and you just have to move on and learn the best you can from that situation. Truth can hurt, but its best we be honest with our selves and not ignore it.
