When I say lead by example and transparency is key.... whose been the least transparent?




 I find it odd that the people I trusted the most were the least transparent...


Just like in the Ted Talk that Ben Goldacre does about medicines where doctors don't have all of the information and only positive or clinical trials that get the results they want are published on a ratio of 34 good to 2 bad when in actuality it should be 34 good to 30 bad, when you don't have all of the information you can't make a good decision without all the information whether good or bad.  Those who with hold information are not helping anyone but themselves.  It's not hard to have an honest conversation with other's even those that disagree with me, I still listen and I retain the good information I get because I always verify what I'm told by someone and even what I already knew with the AI search engine that can be fact checked, Perplexity.ai.  I also can explain why I feel the way I do about anything and have no problem being proven wrong but the only thing I won't do is take someone's opinion as fact without an explanation that uses reason and logic.  I don't even take any doctors word for it about medicine without first researching it myself because everyone's chemistry is different and what works for someone else doesn't mean it will work for me.  I also don't push what I believe on anyone, I encourage everyone to do your own research just be aware of your own biases and try to prove your own theory's wrong and if you can't prove them wrong then you know you have a strong theory, this would be the opposite of confirmation bias.  Also try projecting positivity instead of negativity, build other's up instead of tearing them down, listen with the intent to understand, and show other's empathy.  Those who have empathy or are able to put themselves in other's shoes are the one's that have the only health form of narcissism.  Just being labeled a narcissist is not a bad thing, so many professions require a level of self confidence that all narcissist's have, and also kids all are narcissist's at some point in their lives, they just grow by realizing when they are wrong and are strong enough to admit it and grow from those learning experiences.  No one is perfect and never will be,  I believe the bible sets the bar too high and when that is done, people tend to give up on working on themselves or trying to be better than they were before.  No one succeeds the first time, so as humans we have to learn to take our failures in the best way possible and see them as just small bumps in the road instead of focusing on them.  Our minds are amazing and the power of suggestion, the placebo effect, and the power of repetition can all play a part in our subconscious decisions we make everyday.  Like my song says start small but dream tall, so start just making the smallest changes to your daily routine because it takes 21 days to form a new habit, I know this due to information and me being ablet to change my own routines.  Also keep your mind open, as in you may be right or may be wrong, only then will you be able to get a full perspective of any topic or situation.   Here's another example everyone knows, when you have to clean or tidy up your area's, the hardest step is the first step no matter how small, once you start cleaning you build up momentum and before you know it your done.  The reason we procrastinate is because we think it's going to take us longer than it actually does so we put things off until they reach a point where these cleaning tasks might take the longest to accomplish.  It's much easier to do a little everyday as part of a routine rather than let things build up, the same could be said of problems that need to be discussed, don't avoid them, talk them out, reach a compromise before anyone becomes resentful.
