Truth
By Karen Vally on 27 Mar 2025
I have been considering this theme for some time. When a word or theme that I have been contemplating researching and writing about, keeps appearing, I take note. The words true and truth have both appeared repeatedly during the last few weeks.
Recently, during a mentoring session with one of my clients, I asked him this question, “Which beliefs do you no longer hold to be true?’’ Without hesitation, he mentioned three beliefs and without being prompted, gave the reasons for which he no longer held those beliefs to be true.
I recall as a little girl being prevented from walking under a ladder because, according to my superstitious mother, it would bring back luck. It did not make sense to me then, nor did it make sense to me as I grew older, so I soon discarded it.
What is truth? Where and how do you find it? What do you believe to be true? What do you hold to be true about yourself?
Those of you who have been, or are still embarking upon, a journey of self-discovery, will have experienced the wonder of suddenly seeing, and doing things differently. If you have shed the obsession with which most people are consumed, what others think of, or say about you, this is one of the most liberating moments to experience. In fact, I call it, coming home, coming home to that place where we are finally at ease, comfortable and content, no longer chasing after other misleading, temporary sources of happiness.
The truth is that nothing lasts forever.
So, what does truly matter?
In my opinion, faith, hope, love, wisdom and understanding.
What is truly worthwhile? Knowing one’s purpose and living it. To find it, one needs to know one’s beliefs, values, rules and needs. To discover those, one needs to dig deep by asking appropriate questions and then respond truthfully. When we feel supported in a non-judgemental and non-threatening atmosphere, the truth flows. We find it so easy to think about, talk about and write about what we really want.
The pull of the world makes this impossible. We need to stand firm and choose to be ourselves, and to know ourselves, by taking off the masks, and peeling away the layers. Oh, what an exciting place that is to be. Be curious. Be brave. Choose the truth.
