Be honest with yourself.
Your knee jerk reaction might be, “Of course.”
Being honest is given universal positive lip service.
But what does it mean to be honest with yourself?
If I had to craft a definition it would be: knowing your thoughts, desires, and the why behind them.
It takes time and effort to identify honest answers to those questions.
With that definition, my tally for dishonesty with myself increases astronomically.
It’s painful to be honest, it’s scary to be honest, it might means you might discover something you didn’t want to.
Honesty doesn’t hide the ugly, of course.
