INSPIRATION: Honesty

by | Nov 10, 2014 | Insights & Inspiration

Honesty seems like such a simple concept. And sometimes it is when the truth is simple.

But sometimes truth and reality is not simple. Sometimes it’s wrapped in head games, or shades of grey or differing perspectives.

In times like these, how do you be honest?

Simple.

Start with your own truth.

Learn about others’ truths.

 

Be honest about the complexity of the situation and look for a truth that honors both.
