NOTE

Speak Truth to Find Your Path

Finding the true path in life involves confronting and acknowledging one's current state, as illustrated by Dante's journey in the Divine Comedy. Begin by expressing honesty; write down truths after articulating falsehoods for three days. Commit to total honesty over time by communicating openly with a supportive person, avoiding any deception through words, actions, or expressions. Instead of using victimhood language when declining requests, assertively state your decisions, following the example of Julius Caesar. Replace phrases like 'I can't' and 'I have to' with 'I choose not to' and 'I will,' as this shifts mindset and increases agency, contributing to better mental health and emotional resilience.
