impressed that upon me, the need to tell the truth, be honest, real,
authentic, he added something else, and went about assuring me he meant
it.
That was, 'Do so, and then trust me to handle any problems that might
seem to arise of it.' I've been in a number of situations now in which I
did that, and really felt I was going to have to accept some unpleasant
consquences for it, but he has come through for me in a most amazing
way. I've also learned that some of the most intimidating people when
you start being trully authentic, once they've come up against your rock
solid stand, either come to respect you, or are so scared by you they go
crawl under a rock somehwere, or find themselves 'loosing it' and
turning into looking like babbling idiots when they try to continue
attempts to tear you down.
