I saw it on a girls shirt today on the plane, and it made me think of times my voice would shake when telling the truth, and how i was taught -intentionally or not- to really be aware of that, and try to change the content of what i was saying so that the cues i was getting were making my voice steady, even when it meant lying. That made me reflect on why i would lie just to make my confidence built up enough that my voice was steady. I guess based on approval in the cues of the people who were listening. In essence encouraged to tell a white lie instead of being encouraged to tell the truth. My journey now, is rigorous honesty, and i found that quote to be strengthening in my resolve to speak the truth, even when my voice shakes.
