The old adage of there always being two sides of a story  and the truth having its own version  of events  is  an operating system that  as  an "HR person"  I've defaulted to many times  professionally.  

In my career  I've always tried and failed  sometimes at discerning truth.    There will always be those who have everything to gain and nothing to lose by deceit.    Professionally some of the most insidious  lies I've experienced are polite mistruths  told about me.  Falsehoods told of my intentions or actions that don't outright harm but still eat away at the my own reality.  

Even now as a coach, I try to deduce  what side of the story is  the client falsely self reporting.  This  untrue narrative is rarely conscious  but nonetheless, believable.  Coaching holds a mirror for the client, a reflection I am honored to provide.  

Personally, what I've learned are the worst lies are the ones we tell our selves.    A friend asks,  "but when can you tell your lying to yourself?"  My simplistic response is any but simple; when you tell yourself enough truths.  

Keep truth telling.
