I Cannot Tell A Lie

Rise to the height of your greatness, by finding the ultimate truth in yourself.

A lie can never be undone. Not even the truth is enough. I am a parent and I know these things. Remember what happened to the father of our country. A cherry cut and then told his father: "I cannot tell a lie." A little later, threw the coin to the other side of the river.

These two stories represent some crucial events in American history. George Washington cut down the tree, and then threw the coin. Do you understand? He said even then an essential truth, namely that money does not grow on trees. That has led our country to be so great, Peter. Now the image of George Washington is on each dollar bill.*

Can you discover the greatness of your being, living in the light of reflections on your formation as a source of orientation towards the imperative "remember !", or as a source of distortion of the choices and circumstances that condition your life?

One of the common experiences of leaders, an experience born of trials and challenges encountered, especially by progressively seeking and acquiring instructions, ideas, truths from the knowledge gained and from every aspect of social networking, is the experience of "I am". In turn, it is followed by the relevant experience regarding the events subsequent to the balance of life, knowing that at certain moments there is no tunnel, no bright light, but only one variable: "Remember!" Moreover, let's not forget that the light of our consciousness, of the Self, is like the laser light that gives life to an image: it does not affect the vision, but it can change the resolution or the background of the objective representation of the facts and daily phenomena, without marking the interdependence between them..

What you become is the result of a social remembrance that judges the deeds you have done and the events you set in motion in favor of their writing in history. And this "I am", above the essential significance of the reality in which you form, in a continuous replay that adequately reflects the ups and downs which you can only see with the eyes of the soul, see them, understand them, is highlighted through the truth from which the pride of being part of a larger plan flows.

The formation process is a scenario approved at the highest level of your transition to a new approach to the relationship between "remembering" and the ideals that you fulfill in the interactive form of the events that you wished to unfold differently. Don't forget that through the things you accomplish in life, you make an eternal investment, not a temporary one !

It is possible that all these promulgators of evolution in the socio-professional field be aware of the real meaning of their own authenticity and resist the opacity of others, feeling an enormous difference. This is a self-picture with an enormous impact on the world, but also the image of a complex reality which takes shape of an individual wherefore difference is more important than similarity.

Do you understand the causality that conditions your evolution, so as to write a legendary epic in the course of which the fate of the world will play out around a man invested with the power to change the course of history?

The manifestation of "I am" is one of those jewels that stands the test of time in the form of validation of a single option: never to emphasize your worth more than you were able to bring to fulfillment. And what passes the test of the experience of turning simple life lessons into new horizons of training and development, putting in the foreground the recollection of moments that made you feel that you will win a historic Jackpot, is built on the premise that "no one is left behind". Is your orientation towards the direction of change based on the premise that you have the ability to make experiences difficult?

Here leadership aims at the essential relationship between what you do and what you are in the field of remembrance of the perennial commitment to all those who, over the generations, have changed something in the course of world events. Leadership contains findings of integrity inserted in the act of development and becoming. Integrity, as an element of value, means thinking less in terms of a target imposed by expectations of your own reason, experiences or social place, but rather in terms of your own understanding of what you are and what you are worth.

If you would be allowed to have more power to control reality (where reflections, ideas and life experiences intersect), without taking into account the size of the limiting consequences of individual exploitation, then you easily managed to impose yourself as a progress factor. But as factor of reason fulfillment, which aims at holding timeless truths.

A leader is led by the reason of creating a new world, by discovering the laws and principles that act closely on his own self-valorization. In this case, the causality that conditions its evolution is suggested by its power to alter the course of history. Here, this is the ultimate truth within yourself: "It is not the memories of the past that make you more valuable, but the responsibilities of initiating and building the future."

But only the self-consciousness helps you differentiate with respect to others to manifest your individuality. It also helps you exert authority during transition to a higher level of accomplishment: the greatness that remains printed in the minds of others. Let us remember what the great philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said: "What is great in man is that he is a bridge and not a goal".

Leadership represents the simple narration of disparate facts and phenomena, marking their interdependence with the help of experiences that derive from the strength of the self, from man's deepest beliefs regarding his value and his competence to write the lessons of history.

I cannot tell a lie highlights that greatness element of the man who is constantly changing under the pressure of originality and life experiences. A man of great character, who has delicacy in thought, assigns precise meaning to these experiences, sorts them, organizes them and exploits them by forwarding them to those who want to follow his example.
