Honesty can be misused often as in the form of bluntly saying what you think about others or in a sense “I’m just being honest”. This kind of thought of mind does not dictates that a person is true to him or herself and lives with an understanding of what is right. Those who are truly self-honest are more perceptive, observant and able to look at their own actions from others and have more accountability. Self-honesty is a call for a deeper commitment where someone truly wants to change for the better and with that we must be honest with ourselves. It takes courage and it takes practice that do not just take years but must be constant. This practice is also part of self-healing, especially for those who have had trouble relationships past, present and future. Authenticity plays a huge role in self-honesty as it allows us to move toward healing with ourselves and the world around us. If we want to love, we must be willing to be open with our vulnerabilities and share them with each other.
Self-honesty is difficult for a good reason. It is about facing the truth of our live which requires to confront the ugliness we deal with. Facing the ugly truth for example, “I am not a great communicator and because of that my relationships do not last” can be hurtful to acknowledge and often self-honesty requires us to change our way that are not working in our lives. We stick to what is familiar to use which makes us feel safe because we are in our own comfort zone, even if not good for us. Why? Because we have to initiate the tough conversation, walking away from toxic relationships, relocating, change jobs, and most importantly old behavior. Self-honest not about changing who you are, but changing for the better. There is always room for improvement.
