Before you start reading this article, I invite you to think about honesty. Honesty in relationship with other souls but mostly in relationship with YOURSELF<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We often think about honesty as something we claim from those around us, but we brutally fail at being honest with ourselves, thus towards others. All day long, we lie to ourselves about all sorts of things. I can\u2019t do this, and I can\u2019t change, I can’t stop. “I have no choice.” “I\u2019m\u00a0ok” when in fact, you are exhausted. “I’m fine” when you are very sad.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t get me wrong. We all do it, we all have moments in our lives when we lie to ourselves to feel a little bit better. Sometimes it helps to cope with stress and pressure. The problem arises when we persist so long that we forget it was intended for a short period. When we always lie to ourselves, we only create frustration and alienation. Ignoring our traumas, pretending our soul wounds are not there, it\u2019s the highest form of lying to ourselves.<\/p>\n

We live in a society in which we were not only taught but also rewarded for lying to ourselves. Things work exponentially. The deeper the lie, the bigger the suffering we have to endure until we decide to explore it.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

So What is Honesty<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Think about honesty in a relationship with yourself. You being the one who speaks and also the one who listens.<\/p>\n

\"Honesty\"<\/p>\n

William Shakespeare<\/a>\u00a0famously described honesty as an attribute people leave behind when he wrote that “no legacy is so rich as honesty” in act 3, scene 5 of “All’s Well that Ends Well<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

How does it feel to be loyal, fair, and sincere to yourself? What does that mean? Do you think it can be respecting the promises you’ve made to yourself? Maybe accepting your limitations? Or perhaps learning to say no?<\/p>\n

I think this aspect is different for everyone. I encourage you to look at your actions and see what drives you mad? Which actions of others are pushing your buttons? Ignoring you, lying to you,\u00a0or\u00a0deceiving you, stealing from you? After naming that one thing, shift your perspective inwards. Search inside of you until you find a situation in which you did the same thing to yourself. It usually takes just a few moments until recalling a clear memory about yourself in the same situation.<\/p>\n
