Things don’t have to be complicated.
The truth really does work!
The truth is not an excuse to be callous and mean, but the mere fact that the truth (about ourselves or others) is not as pleasant as a lie doesn’t mean lying is the right choice.
We grow to become better than we are. If no one is honest with us, we cannot see what to work on.
Whether you are talking about partners or children, they need to know the truth. We aren’t all smart, tall, pretty, or successful. That’s the truth.

Many singles have such unrealsitic points of reference, it's not surprising they have resorted to lying..
Lying won’t make anyone smart, tall, pretty, or successful. That’s also the truth.
A little more truth can help though.
So many people have unrealistic points of reference, it isn’t surprising they have resorted to lying.
Most parents are not content to believe their kids are average. It’s a lot easier to say that “Johnny is really smart, he just doesn’t take tests well.”
Face the statistical facts. Half of the world is above average at anything you can measure. The other half is below average. That’s the truth.
The truth really isn’t all that painful. A little bit of truth compared to a lie can be pretty tough.
If Barbie were a real person she would fall over on her face and never be able to get up.
Ken would wipe that plastic smile off of his face after he got passed over the third time for a promotion, and he would start getting a little stressed over how to pay for that dream house.
Barbie and Ken do alright because their whole world is plastic.
None of our lives or bodies will be able to keep up with them because we are living in the real world.
We need to have lives that are realistic, setting goals that are realistic, and having realistic expectations of others.
That’s the truth. And it works.
