Why is it important to speak your truth? | Christine Baker | TEDxBigSky

True vulnerability is difficult, so why do it? When we feel different than what we believe is expected of us, we sometimes keep it quiet. By being open, we celebrate our similarities and our differences and we invite meaningful connection. Christine started skiing Big Sky with her family in 1981. She fell in love with the mountain, the town, the people, the skiing, and everything that came with it. In 1982 (at age 6), she told her parents she was going to stay and she’d see them next year. “What are you going to do?” her parents asked. “Be a ski instructor,” she replied. It didn’t happen that year, but eventually it did. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

YOUR Truth? Since when did YOU become the one who decides what the truth is as opposed to the FACTS? ..... And if there is YOUR truth as opposed to THE TRUTH then I have mine as well and why is mine less relevant than yours?
