A CCEPT nothing less than complete honesty from yourself. You deserve it from yourself, and you owe it to yourself. When you seek to deceive yourself, your effort fails on both sides of the transaction. As deceiver and as deceived, you end up with nothing of any value. Let yourself know what you need to know, to see what is there to see. Allow yourself to feel what you must feel. As difficult as it may be to deal with truth, it’s better than the alternative. Choose to build your strength in truth rather than watching it be chipped away by falsehood. Do not treat lightly the wisdom you’ve spent your life accumulating. Listen to it, consider it, act on it, with respect and gratitude. Be honest with those who trust you, who depend on you, who have given so much to you, who matter to you. That includes, especially, yourself. Often, honesty is not easy. Yet ultimately, honesty is much easier than dishonesty. Being dishonest is never worth the price you must pay. It is impossible to be truly at peace when you are living a lie. With each bit of dishonesty, you narrow your options. Eventually, you squeeze yourself into a corner from which there is no escape. A commitment to honesty puts the power of truth on your side. Honesty expands your options and gives durability to your relationships. Being honest with others compels you to be honest with yourself. And it is only when you are honest with yourself that you can fulfill your awesome positive possibilities. Deceit can often be tempting, yet honesty is always the best path. Live with truth and you truly live.
