Say your truth—kindly, but fully and completely. Live your truth, gently, but totally and consistently. Change your truth easily and quickly when your experience brings you new clarity.

Basically, it's really how we should all try to be and live - be kind and loving towards your brother, be truthful and honest to yourself, and when you are wrong, acknowledge you are wrong and change your direction on that issue. Start all over again. Life never stops evolving hopefully. When it does, you are dead.

first of all for me, this quote is all about relative truth- which is "what you believe for any given amount of time". Living out your truth is a great point- however if you change your truth easily and quickly when you experience something new shows you were not living truth then does it? TRUTH SHOULD BE ABSOLUTE
I am a musician and I played a wedding once that the bride and the groom wrote their own vows and this is part of that -
"I will stay with you until I do not love you anymore". How about living some absolute truth here. - Instead of making truth go along with how you feel one moment to the next.NO commitment there.
conundrum said it perfectly!! A truth that changes cannot be truth can it?

I can see how this could be misunderstood from a Christian context, since Jesus said that 'He is the light, the TRUTH and the way'. Nevertheless, it does have relevance when you consider, that, on our journey, new experiences can bring clarity to ideas and beliefs that we always held as truths. And when we are led to find these truths, we should quickly and easily embrace them. (Nice to see you back :-)

If a person has facts that the Earth is round, but want to believe it's flat - that's 2 different things.
Your quote makes solid sense, but as each person is so totally different from each other conflicts will arise over facts of truth, or some aspect of point of view. (See Butter Battle by Dr. Seuss.)
I can't be kindly or as gentle as I need to be - but I am working on it.

I asked Jack Nicholson and he said "You can't handle the truth!"
I think he has a bit of a point to make 'cos the strength and courage it takes to get there and live up to your quote is immense.
It would be a better world if they tried, though.
Nice one!

I think it's a great quote. And, I think it's true because wisdom is gained by experience and so each aspect of truth spelled out above does transpire.

I think there's wisdom in that quote. But I also think that there are occasions when "kindly" and "gently" are insufficient to protect your freedom to say and live your truths.

I'm gonna get a little weird(big surpirise) with this answer.Truth is perspective(hence clarity).I like this quote because it doesn't make truth absolute.People are always trying to make truth absolute,and when you find out it's perspective,,,,,,things make alot more sense.Thank you and good quote...............
