Honesty and Transparency

When you ask people: “Are you always honest and transparent?” Usually the response is: “Of course at all times!”

Allow me to be bold at this point…You are not! 

We all aim to be ourselves and completely genuine but if we claim to have never ever told a lie or not at least once (and even that is stupid as we have lied at least a hundred times and more in a lifetime) - we already are not being honest to ourselves and others.

We all have put on these masks and slipped into roles and surrounded ourselves with these walls of protection believing this is who we are.

What is holding us back from being completely blank and transparent is a fear we carry inside.

It is a specific fear: It is called fear of rejection. We fear the non acceptance of who we really are. Believe me its so worth being honest and transparent. 

It might be that you won’t have a lot of friends or acquaintances in your circle but the ones who fully accept you will be your real friends and people you want around you at all times.

I understand that it’s not always easy but I believe it’s necessary. Obviously there is a moment and time for certain things to be said. Sometimes you have to be silent and say nothing and leave it for later. I think we have all access to divine wisdom to apply in those tricky situations where you just know when and how and what to say.

We have to be willing to be vulnerable and open. If you think you can protect yourself from getting hurt its again another lie. Of course you have to learn to be wise and not do a soul striptease with anybody that comes along your path. Be wise and choose who you should open up to and trust. Before you completely open up and let yourself go you should watch that specific person and see how they conduct their lives and how they treat themselves and others.

Live and enjoy yourself, others and life to the fullest by being yourself and with no fear nor shame at all.

Always,
