\u201cTruth Versus Lie\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Have you ever been deceived, or lied to? The answer more than likely is, yes. When that occurred, how did you feel? Were you happy, elated, or overjoyed with a sense of exhilaration? Again, probably not.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the point, when we label an occurrence as a lie, it takes on a different meaning per the way we act, versus thinking of it as the truth. Nevertheless, in some situations, because someone has lied to us, we move towards a more positive outlook in our life but we don\u2019t realize it at the time. Even though we may not know it at the time, that person has done us a favor. Now, I\u2019m not suggesting that you seek to associate with those that lie to you to have them extend a favor. Instead, be mindful of the benefits derived from not being told the absolute truth about something, per the benefits it may hold for you. That may sound strange, but in life we get what we expect, so expect something good out of the situation.<\/p>\n

The next time you catch someone in a lie, appreciate the fact that you\u2019re seeing the person in a different light and be glad of that additional insight. You can use it to improve yourself, which might mean getting away from that person. If that turns out to be the case, you\u2019ll be moving your life upon a path of future discovery and\u00a0 be away from the environment that\u2019s not serving as well otherwise \u2026 and everything will be right with the world.<\/p>\n

What does this have to do with negotiations?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a negotiation, deceit can reign supreme, as negotiators go about playing jet-eye mind tricks to position the other negotiator. It\u2019s expected that neither will be so transparent as to disclose their full negotiation position. So, if it\u2019s expected in a negotiation, and you\u2019re always negotiating, why do you allow it to be permissible during a negotiation and not in other aspects of your life? The answer lies in the fact that you more than likely see one aspect, negotiations, as being something more formal than other aspects of your life. In essence, it\u2019s the mindset you possess in one situation versus another. If that\u2019s the case, and you\u2019re the person controlling your mind, you can give the meaning of a lie a meaning that\u2019s beneficial to you. That doesn\u2019t mean you have to drop your guard, it means, be mindful and understanding of what you\u2019re guarding. Do so \u2026 and everything will be right with the world.<\/p>\n
