Remember Mindfulness – close eyes briefly
Honesty
If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.
Mark Twain.
We are victims of our own dishonesty. The tangled
web we weave when we tell lies, leaves us
floundering and trapped. The stress of dishonesty is
enormous, that’s why lie detectors work so well. It’s
also why honesty, openness and willingness to
change are the three components of successful
therapy. Unless you are honest, you cannot be
yourself and then therapy becomes pointless.
Some people get into the habit of telling lies
because they learn at an early age that it keeps
them out of trouble. Do I understand the harm
that I do to myself through my dishonesty?
Lack of self-honesty is at the root of all our
emotional upheavals and troubles. If I can’t give
myself the honest respect that I deserve, then I
probably don’t trust myself enough to make the
right judgments and choices. The danger of this is
that I may adopt the standards and ideas of
others instead – which may not be good. Much
better to be sure of my own integrity and to choose
according to my own ideals. I ask God today for the
self-respect to value my principles
