In life, nothing is better than being honest with yourself and honest with other people who have trust in you and who have always believed in you. I truly believe that no matter how much you hide behind a curtain and no matter how it happens, people’s true colours always come out. No matter how it happens, it happens. I truly believe in that analogy. People can go years with hiding things from people, but no matter the outcome, it always comes out. So start being honest with yourself, start being honest with other people, and don’t try to hide who you really are. It is not good. I mean why hide yourself? Why hide your talents? I know some people can be shy and some people don’t want to share their true selves, but its something that gives us a sense of individuality, it gives us a time to shine with other people too. Why do this to yourself? Why prolong hiding, lying to others? Some people lie about their age, some people life about where they are from, some people lie about other things they do. Eventually it will come out. When people get suspicious of others, now there is the world of Google searching, there is the world of the internet. People are easily searched, and you’d be surprised on what you would find, and you would be shocked. I believe honesty goes a long way and that will build trust and that will be good for you and it will benefit you in the long run. So in the future if you think about hiding yourself from others, and who you really are, the colours come out, your lies come out, and so on and so forth.
I know some people feel the need to be in their own bubble, and not think about the consequences it may lead to, and people lose friends, people lose companionship, people won’t know what hit them. Actions speak louder than words in almost everything and people must take accountability, and responsibility for their own actions, but it depends on the situation you are in, but that should not matter. People always have a way of finding out and eventually play at their game. So be careful, be cautious, and live life without hiding. Show yourself, be honest, and you will see how people will appreciate you more and you will see how much it will change your life. It all starts with you and it all starts with how your portray yourself. All the best to you.

I love this post 🙂
I wish there were more honest people in the world, it breaks my heart when you see someone you know and thought you trusted fall over face first into their web of lies!
Reblogged this on be.authentic.
It is so frustrating when you are called naive for believing something a friend tells you. Honesty is so very rare these days.
All the best to you too and God bless.
Honesty is a double edged sword as long as there are dishonest people inhabiting the world with us. If you are honest, which I am, you freely give those people who aim to use and hurt,the weapons for their arsenal. This should not deter people from honesty because ultimately the only person who has to live in your skin is yourself but proceed with knowledge.
What you may find on Google about someone is not always the truth, nor can you always believe what someone tells you. I do believe honesty is the best poilcy, even if at a later time that honesty is used against you. People do change. Who is trying to prove someone is not honest?
So true. so wise. There needs to be balance.
Honesty starts from within one if you can’t be honest with yourself then you will never be honest with anyone else. I have learned that lesson the hard way.
It can be difficult if you develop coping strategies based around hiding facts from people, soon it becomes just a way of life, and is not malicious, but defensive.
I think everyone should be mindful of revisiting their current state for perspective. If you have an unanswered question about your own self, then you are going to have to dig deeper, get more abstract. The more often you visit yourself and your motivations, the more honest you can be,
