Does Anyone Really Have Permission To Tell You The Truth?


When we really love someone, we give the person permission to tell us the truth.  People know that they have permission to tell us the truth by the way we respond when they do tell us the truth.  If we respond angrily and defensively, they realize they don’t really have permission.  If we respond gently, thoughtfully, and humbly they understand that they really do have permission to be honest with us.
