Because it’s the truth and it strips you bare. I had a bad habit in the past of using lies of omission. After a bit of time it became an issue – “Did I tell so & so this thing?”. I became a very ugly person toward the end of that period. Honesty, painful as it may be, is a better way to go in the long run so I’ll be here cheering you on! Peace!! xx

This is a great quote. I was kinda thinking about something similar last night…(I guess I should post this under ‘my random ramblings’ goal, but it kinda fits here)

Someone once said something to me about me not being myself that I kinda fit in just whereever. But isn’t that being myself? If that is me….then it’s me…whether I fit or not. I thing first and foremost honesty is the best policy and if I just happen to agree with someone or connect then that is the bonus, but it’s still me…There was a bit more to this thought last night but I don’t want to waste any space. :) I like the quote…. :)

being honest and truthful with people is always a struggle for me. when i start to feel myself resisting the truth is when i know that it is extra important to tell it at that moment. i’m getting better at doing it because i’ve come to realize that cleaning up the mess of lies/deciet is a much shittier job than telling the truth in the beginning. will keep working on this one though…
power to the peaceful!
