To People Who Want To Be Free Stop Lying.
Honesty is the best policy because it sets you free.
A couple of years ago I signed up for a matchmaking service. I figured at the time it would be easier than going out on my own trying to convince women of my value.
While I never saw actual success from the matchmaking service I kept the membership.
About four months ago my girlfriend and I started dating. I found her the traditional way.
In the mists of us dating, I was contacted by the matchmaking service about a potential match.
I ended up taking the interview to hear about this dream girl. I thought to myself, “What do you have to lose?”.
My current girlfriend and I were not officially together, so I was still technically single.
When that interview ended up not going anywhere and I decided to commit to my girlfriend.
I wrestled with the thought of telling her the truth of my experience.
I wrestled with being honest.
Before I say any more let me tell you a little bit about myself.
My name is Dennis Seda.
I am a copywriter in the Self Help and Personal Development niche.
I bridge the gap between customers and products they feel will help improve their quality of life.
So, you may be asking yourself.
What does my being a copywriter have to do with honesty?
Well, it has to do a lot, actually.
Honesty equals freedom.
Our ability to be free is directly related to our honesty.
This honesty is not only with other people but, I think more importantly, with ourselves.
We have to be honest with ourselves because if not, who else are we going to be honest with.
However, people have a tendency to let fear dictate their decisions.
What this means for honesty is that we let fear block our freedom.
If you can let go of your fear of honesty then you can be free.
Here are 3 strategies that may give you the courage, to be honest.
Strategy #1
My honesty explicitly gives others permission, to be honest with me.
Honesty is a double-edged sword.
It is almost impossible but my honesty gives others the courage to be honest with me.
I open the door and they answer with their acceptance that it is okay.
They admire me for my courage and straight forward nature. As a result, they want to experience that same feeling.
Strategy #2
My honesty is never as bad as I perceive it to be.
This is the place where fear creeps in and creates self-doubt.
We want to be accepted, liked, and found to be congruent with the people we surround ourselves with.
As a result many of us, myself included, compromise our personal values for social acceptance.
However, what people accept more than anything is independence and sticking to our personal values.
If you don’t think so. Think about what the consequences of not being in alignment with my personal values will do to your soul.
Think like this, “Nothing is worth my peace of mind or integrity, nothing.”.
Strategy #3
Remember that honesty will always be there, staring you in the face.
We are most vulnerable when we go to sleep and when we wake up in the morning.
Often those thoughts we have at this time. These thoughts are the ones we can not escape.
If you can not sleep at night it might be because your soul is wrestling with a truth you have buried deep in order to forget.
My advice, let the truth be free and cleanse your soul so that you can live at peace.
