Actions have consequences.
00:00:03 Kevin
So, as we've been discussing the last few days, last few weeks, is try not to lie, strive to tell the truth, use that truth, and wield it in a sword called honesty.
00:00:13 Kevin
Be honest with yourself and others.
00:00:14 Kevin
But as you're being honest, you're going to have to realize that actions have consequences.
00:00:18 Kevin
Your action of being honest with other people are going to cause
00:00:23 Kevin
reactions from other people.
00:00:25 Kevin
And those reactions are probably going to be negative at first, but in the end, it'll be better for you.
00:00:33 Kevin
And so with that, you're going to say, hey, I'm going to have an honest conversation with this person.
00:00:38 Kevin
I think you need to lose weight because I care about you.
00:00:40 Kevin
Maybe not taking the fat shaming approach, if you will, right?
00:00:43 Kevin
Which is more of a way of kind of telling the truth, but not actually talking about the actual issue.
00:00:50 Kevin
And so be more honest and say, hey, listen, like I'm concerned for you.
00:00:53 Kevin
your weight is becoming an issue, and I want you to live a long, healthy life, and we're your friends, and we want to spend time with you longer than you are kind of giving us.
00:01:04 Kevin
Right?
00:01:05 Kevin
So that's an honest conversation.
00:01:06 Kevin
Nobody wants to be called fat.
00:01:07 Kevin
Nobody wants to hear that.
00:01:08 Kevin
But at the same time, like my family fat shamed me, and I've lost like 20 pounds in the last month.
00:01:14 Kevin
It's a good, healthy thing, and I feel much better.
00:01:16 Kevin
I'm healthier.
00:01:16 Kevin
It's one of those things.
00:01:17 Kevin
It's just
00:01:18 Kevin
And that was just an example of a difficult conversation you might have.
00:01:22 Kevin
Maybe somebody in your life is treating you a certain way.
00:01:24 Kevin
You don't like it.
00:01:25 Kevin
You want to have that honest conversation, pull the band-aid off and actually do it.
00:01:29 Kevin
And they're not going to want to hear that they have to change.
00:01:31 Kevin
Nobody wants to hear that.
00:01:32 Kevin
But people will overreact because they're letting their emotional intelligence, which is probably a lower IQ than you would expect, is because nobody ever focuses on the intelligent, their emotional intelligence.
00:01:46 Kevin
They're going to allow you, they're going to attack you with hatred, anger, things like that, are all just flying by the seat of their pants, shooting from the hip emotion.
00:01:58 Kevin
And instead of controlling it, they let it overreact.
00:02:02 Kevin
And so you're going to have to deal the brunt of that.
00:02:05 Kevin
But in the end, you'll be a better person for it.
00:02:07 Kevin
They'll appreciate you more for your honesty.
00:02:11 Kevin
So, you know,
00:02:13 Kevin
With one comes the other, and that'll lead us into next time's video.
