Tiny Wisdom: On Being Honest with Yourself


“Integrity 

 is telling 

myself 

the truth. 

And honesty 

is telling 

the truth 

to other people.” 

-Spencer Johnson


Only you know if you’ve been lying to yourself. 

Other people may think they know what’s going on in your head 

and what’s right for you. But only you know what you need to do 

and whether or not you’re doing it.

Only you know what you believe and whether or not you’re honoring it.

Only you know what your values are and whether or not you’re upholding  them.

Only you know if you’re projecting onto other people to avoid taking responsibility 

for your own life.

And only you can decide to get brave, stop lying, and start being the person 

you know you want to be–in thoughts, words, and actions.

Have you been lying to yourself–

and is it time to start creating happiness in the way that only you can?
