“If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?” –Ralph Waldo Emerson

Attention Truth Seekers!  Let’s take a Transformational Moral Inventory—a TMI—right here, right now. 

You don’t need a shovel to dig up your truth.  And you don’t need a map to find it.  The only place you have to go is in, as indicated by the word ‘inventory’.  If other people outside of you were responsible for your thoughts and behavior, it would be called an ‘outventory’. 

Begin by asking yourself if you are harboring any ill will.  Are you hanging on to grudges, hates, jealousies, or resentments?  It can be oh-so-easy to justify your own unacceptable behavior.  Perhaps you’ve rationalized your feelings by reassuring yourself that you were provoked, that you had no choice.  Or you’ve tried to dismiss your actions, pretending that your wrongs don’t count, that everyone else does the same thing.

A TMI can reveal TMI—Too Much Information—that we would prefer not to uncover.  When we take cover and deny our weaknesses, we avoid our own truth. And then we can’t recover.

Discover who you are by going on a fact-finding mission.  Appreciate your strengths.Acknowledge your imperfections.  Transform who you are becoming.

Mission: Possible!
