B.U.T.–Behold the Underlying Truth

Have you ever noticed that when someone says “YOu did a great job BUT…….” that whatever words come after the BUT are the truth?  Or, “I love you BUT……I don’t want to be with you anymore.”  There a millions of examples, but the concept will never change: Whatever comes AFTER the b.u.t. is the TRUTH of the matter!  BUT stands for behold the underlying truth.  In nother words, listen to what I say AFTER I have said the word BUT.  So, watch how often you do that!  Watch when others do that.  YOu will notice it happens a lot, can be kind of disturbing but very enlightening also.  It can/does change the whole context of sentences, conversations, etc. when we are willing to be aware of our words, own them and say what we MEAN!  Try not staying “BUT” for a day and see if you can and how it feels!
