I was talking to a friend today about honesty, and some people’s inability to be honest! Then I noticed that my affirmation for the day was “I communicate clearly and honestly. People can trust that what I say is true.” Nothing like a bit of reinforcement to entertain a person. The thing with dishonesty is that not only do other people not trust you, you don’t even trust yourself! And you become a fraction of your real self, because you are hiding behind a mask of dishonesty.
Honesty doesn’t have to be hurtful! I am very rarely offensive when I am being honest, because I do have some skill in tact and diplomacy! Most people like directness, most people prefer the straightforward approach…and most of us HATE to be lied to! So, be honest – are you being honest with yourself? Are you being honest in your dealings with others? Are you being honest about who you are?
If not, you’re wasting energy and hiding your brilliance. So think about it – be honest at least with yourself, and allow yourself to be who you really are.
