WOW!  Looks like a lot to live up to doesn’t it?  Or does it?  Do you create your own honesty rules instead of living by society’s interpretation?  Do you have different levels of honesty for different people in your life?  Ever convince yourself of, “what they don’t know won’t hurt them”?  I can see you smiling already.  It’s ok.  You’re not alone.

Let me simplify this whole topic for you, being honest with yourself and with the world takes less time than being dishonest.  It’s a fact.  When you’re honest, you’re done with it the moment it happens, the moment the words are spoken or the action taken.  When you’re dishonest, life becomes a series of dishonesty.  Here’s how: once the lie is out, now you’ve got to remember who you were dishonest to, what you were dishonest about, when you were dishonest, how you were dishonest, did anyone else hear or see you, is it going to come back to haunt you and ultimately, was it worth it?  Was it really worth hurting someone you cared about?

If honesty was easy, everyone would do it, right?  Right, but guess what, it’s not easy.  It takes courage and the ability to stand up to others.  Unfortunately, we live in a society that almost frowns on the “good” guy.  To do the right thing is almost unheard of now.  Why is that?  Why have we allowed the dishonest to flourish and prosper?  What are we afraid of or maybe it’s who are we afraid of?

We should never be afraid of being honest.  It’s the right thing to do in any situation.  The truth will always set your mind and heart free.  It may not feel like it at the time but it will work out in the end.  It always does.  Being honest lifts the burdens, lightens the load, allows for good things to enter your life, promotes emotional growth, creates happiness, cultivates new streams of income, strengthens all relationships and always brings authentic people into your life.  Who wouldn’t want that?

Are you ready to be honest in every aspect of your life?  Are you ready to live a life of abundance (in every way)?  You should be.  Why?  Because you deserve it.  You are an intelligent, beautiful, curious, faithful, sweet and funny person.  You are what you were intended to be so why not shine for all the world to see.  I want to see.

Honesty is fundamental to having a life worth living.  Without honesty, what do you really have?  A sham.

All the best,
