Download or read book Growing Your Own Truth written by Andrew Phineas and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2020-07-19 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing Your Own Truth is a deconstruction of the gay coming out process, as well as a defense of the concept of “personal truth,” with many personal stories, examples and applications to relationships in general. Andrew Phineas exposes the inside of his coming out, following his story as well as building upon reflections about life and Truth as we individually and traditionally understand it. The author envisions a world where personal truth is more easily shared among individuals to arrive at broader concepts and offers several aids as appendices to assist in the process of effectively sharing personal truth with others and listening to their revelations without judgement. The work is philosophy studded with deeply human illustrations and occasionally unique observations. Coming out later in life after a fairly conservative religious upbringing and a divorce, the author worked on three continents, met a variety of friends and potential partners, and after a long process, offers some unique combinations of ideas, cultural reactions, and personal stubbornness in order to clarify and live out his personal truth.

Download or read book The Truth about Stories written by Thomas King and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2003 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2003 Trillium Book Award "Stories are wondrous things," award-winning author and scholar Thomas King declares in his 2003 CBC Massey Lectures. "And they are dangerous." Beginning with a traditional Native oral story, King weaves his way through literature and history, religion and politics, popular culture and social protest, gracefully elucidating North America's relationship with its Native peoples. Native culture has deep ties to storytelling, and yet no other North American culture has been the subject of more erroneous stories. The Indian of fact, as King says, bears little resemblance to the literary Indian, the dying Indian, the construct so powerfully and often destructively projected by White North America. With keen perception and wit, King illustrates that stories are the key to, and only hope for, human understanding. He compels us to listen well.

Download or read book Your Personal Truth written by I. C. Robledo and published by I. C. Robledo. This book was released on 2021-06-03 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover Your Truths & Fulfill Your Dreams If you have ever doubted yourself, your life’s path, beliefs, or questioned what is True, prepare to illuminate the path to Your Personal Truth. This is the best path. It is the one you are called for and that you must go on, or you will be left feeling unfulfilled, as if you missed out on something essential from life. We all have our unique journey to live, and nothing is more worthy than pursuing this path for yourself. The point of this book is not to impose any particular beliefs, ideas, philosophies, or Truths on you. Instead, the focus is on helping you find your truth in a way that allows you to achieve your dreams and goals. Can you think of something that you know to be True without any doubt? When you know something to be True, it becomes a deep part of your life, and you know it to be true with your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, experience, logic, and intuition, then you can get to a point where no one can take this Truth away from you. The only one who can release yourself from an old Truth that is no longer working and replace it with a new and more valid one is yourself. With Your Personal Truth, you can regain control of your life’s direction and take the power you have always had but perhaps never realized, which is the power to determine what is true for you and what is not. Ultimately, Truth is a journey, not a destination. When you choose to walk this path, you will unlock deeper parts of yourself, discover your highest ideals and values, find purpose, and live by your truth with every thought and action. Internationally bestselling author I. C. Robledo discovered that his path was to seek Truth at 16 years of age. Since then, he has been searching for truth, and now he wishes to teach you how to discover Your Personal Truth. This endeavor has led to meaning, a transcendent level of awareness and understanding, self-knowledge, and the ability to focus on worthy paths and avoid false ones. Inside, you will learn to: - Discover your truths, rather than waiting for someone to give them to you, which would be a mistake - Identify critical values that are worth living by (with a list of 100 values to consider) - Unlock the deepest parts of yourself by remembering, uncovering, recovering, discovering, and creating yourself - See that there are infinite truths in the universe, and we must choose the ones that work for us - Communicate with a version of yourself that is 20-30 years older (via an imaginative exercise) to help unlock your best life path - Perceive a scale of lies, and see that some lies are worse than others - Test your truths to see which ones are valid and which ones were just faulty assumptions - Move toward the paths that lead to confidence, awareness, happiness, and growth, and move away from the paths that lead to negativity, pain, and feelings of being lost. This book is a one-of-a-kind practical resource for better living. At the end of every chapter, you will find key questions and an activity to ensure that you benefit from the lessons. Learn to live by your Truth and become the best version of yourself with Your Personal Truth. Your Personal Truth will help you to discover the truth for yourself, to peel away the falseness and lies around you, and see the reality as it actually is. There is the false, then there is the real and whole truth, and we must learn to see it for ourselves. If you are attracted to what is truly true, real, genuine, actual, and the universe as it is, and accepting it and working with that rather than being in denial, then this book is for you. Only harm comes from denying the truth of this life, so that is to be avoided. We should avoid lying and liars, as this just moves us away from the reality as it is. Did you know that what you believe can affect your personal truth? Whether you are a believer in something or not can determine whether it will manifest and become the reality of your life. Truth is what the universe wants us to see. It is in love and in our everyday being, if we just open our eyes to it. Truth seekers are quite rare, but necessary in this world that has much nonsense, noise, and chaos (or perhaps even bullshit). Is finding truth in the cards for you? Was it ever something to be found, anyway? Explore such ideas here. Sometimes people can be brainwashed and not even know - it is vital then to pursue our own truth, to avoid this ever happening. This book is ideal for thoughtful, spiritual, and introspective (or possibly introverted) souls. It is also useful for those who have been searching for and seeking the truth but struggled to find it. Your Personal Truth will surely benefit life coaches, mental health counselors, advisors, therapists, psychologists, and other leaders as well as their clients. If you are pursuing or looking for truth, this book will help to open up a truthful Tao, way, or path for you. (If you are concerned, I do not claim to give you the truth, but just to open up a way for you to find it for yourself.) Understand that whether God, holiness, a deity or deities, or religion plays an important role in your life or not, this book makes no claims to contain the truth, but rather, will help you discover it or rediscover it for yourself. I do not hold the truth. You do. Arrive to your enlightenment, understanding, awakening, and greater insights. Similar authors you may have enjoyed include Mark Manson, Jordan B.

Download or read book Bring Your Whole Self To Work written by Mike Robbins and published by Hay House, Inc. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today’s work environment, the lines between our professional and personal lives are blurred more than ever before. Whatever is happening to us outside of our workplace —whether stressful, painful, or joyful —follows us into work as well. We may think we have to keep these realities under wraps and act as if we “have it all together.” But as Mike Robbins explains, we can work better, lead better, and be more engaged and fulfilled if —instead of trying to hide who we are —we show up fully and authentically. Mike, a sought-after motivational speaker and business consultant, has spent more than 15 years researching, writing, and speaking about essential human experiences and high performance in the workplace. His clients have ranged from Google to Citibank, from the U.S. Department of Labor to the San Francisco Giants. From small start-ups in Silicon Valley to family-owned businesses in the Midwest. From what he’s seen and studied over the years, Mike believes that for us to thrive professionally, we must be willing to bring our whole selves to the work that we do. Bringing our whole selves to work means acknowledging that we’re all vulnerable, imperfect human beings doing the best we can. It means having the courage to take risks, speak up, have compassion, ask for help, connect with others in a genuine way, and allow ourselves to be truly seen. In this book, Mike outlines five principles we can use to approach our own work in this spirit of openness and humanity, and to help the people we work with feel safe enough to do the same, so that the teams and organizations we’re a part of can truly succeed. “This book will offer you insights, ideas, and tools to inspire you to bring all of who you are to the work that you do —regardless of where you work, what kind of work you do, and with whom you do it. And, if you’re an owner, leader, or just someone who wants to have influence on those around you —this book will also give you specific techniques for how to build or enhance your team’s culture in such a way that encourages others to bring all of who they are to work.”
