Honestly the easiest part of your day.....

HONESTY –

To me honesty is a huge factor in my relationships and friendships. I rely on people around me to let me know what they are thinking, to put me back in line, or to grow my confidence, in a way being honest is like a gift.

Honesty is not just about owning and being responsible for your actions and thoughts but it is about freeing your own mind, and let people know what your thinking. When you are up front about your feelings for something, someone or a situation, you are essentially enabling that person or yourself to move forward. You are no longer halting progress on your growth, or holding another person down, with your unhappiness, your doubt, your misery, your guilt, or your shame.

If you allow yourself to be UNSELFISH and share your true feelings, your no doubt going to experience a sense of relief, a sense of happiness and content. I am not saying its always easy, but I am saying its always necessary.

We all need to learn to get over the feelings of  “I don’t want to hurt them ... I will tell them one day... what they don’t know wont hurt them” Because at the end of the day it will hurt people eventually, forever in some cases.

I see honesty as power. I see people that are honest to each other as STRONG, reliable, I also see most acts of being honest can lead to a person’s sense of peace and happiness, occasionally people don’t want to hear honesty, but ultimately its always appreciated.

What we all must learn and understand is that our honesty, can be so valuable to another person’s situation. Someone needs to hear your truth, no matter what you think SHOULD be said. Your honesty can potentially lead to a life-changing decision.

Every opportunity we have, we should want and choose to be honest.

Being honest shouldn’t be an after thought, it should be the way we ALL want to live our lives. Most people get it wrong by wanting or thinking we are protecting someone from pain or getting hurt or making ourselves look better; It is not for you to protect that person. It is not a matter of protection. Honesty is POWER.

Hurt feelings and emotions lead to growth. When we allow ourselves to feel pain, we are, not only healing whatever it is that ails us, but we are also growing stronger in whatever it is that we are going through. Hurt that comes from honesty is a self-healing pain....The healing begins the moment you are honest.....You have helped by being honest, therefore your responsibility to that person has been fulfilled. It is not about being insensitive or feeling guilty. Honesty forces people to be responsible for their own feelings and emotions.

Thank you to all my wonderful, friends and family for having the strength to always tell me the truth, and for allowing me to be honest to you xXx
