Lesson 2
Tell the Truth:
This one hits one for me because i can relate to that marine corp soldier. I have lied or not updated someone on my absence from a situation because i thought i would have gotten in trouble, but in reality, you learn from being punished for your actions. You become more of a man from knowing that when you screw up like all humans do, the man will own up to his actions, and the coward will try to escape from them.
This lesson was not my favorite to talk. I would have much rather talked about the first lesson of going after what you want no matter what does not matter who is in the way, but i chose lesson two because no one likes to be caught. No one likes to be vulnerable and put on the spot or have their name dampened. I am learning everyday and one aspect that i still need to work on is tell the truth when the situation presents its self. I now have a girlfriend in my life and always telling the truth is hard. Knowing that if you give her your truth she will get mad or sad is not a great feeling. It is not a great feeling tell someone you care about the truth and watching their world crumble just for that split second, but sometimes it has to be done. And just like that marine, i have felt the need to push my luck and see if i can get myself out of a situation by lying.
