Tammy’s Common Sense Ways to Live a Better Life: #10 Be Honest

Be Honest: I think that of all the ways I have said can help you live a better life, this one is the hardest by far and I will tell you why. We all think of ourselves as honest, but in the end are we really? Are you really honest to your partner everyday. How about your boss or your kids? What is even harder is being honest with ourselves. I know I am not honest with myself everyday, and if I can't people honest with myself who can I be honest with? I tell myself it is ok that I said that mean comment, or its not my fault that this or that happened, but really that is not the truth. Most things that happen to me in a negative way in the day our overall my fault in the end, cause maybe I put myself in that situation or I started the whole ball rolling. In reality, we can only expect so many reactions from our own behavior. If I start out being disrespectful can I really expect you to be respectful back? Should I really eat that fourth donut, or drink that fifth soda, no but I tell myself its ok this one time. So really truly try to be honest with yourself. You will thank yourself in the end, I really do think so. http://www.buzzle.com/articles/is-honesty-the-best-policy.html
