250 Words About Honesty

This is one of the many mental exercises I like to do. I try to write the essence of a topic in a given amount of words. This time it was 250 words about honesty :)

If there's one thing I that I have learned over the last few tough years, it is that people should always be pure and honest to themselves and the others around them. Only then you will be able to be strong, overcome your insecurities, help others and live a meaningful and fulfilling life.

Be an inspiration to the people around you and tell the truth, be open about who you are, and don't be afraid of judgments. If they think it is appropriate to hurt you and show contempt, they are not worth of your trust and friendship. But before you know who your real friends are, you have to be honest and to be able to share parts of your life with them. Their response is an important part of it. They might be disappointed in you, or be angry with you, but the most important part is whether they are able to forgive you and continue the friendship. It can even deepen the feelings you have for one another.

One of the most wonderful things about the truth is that generally when you let your heart speak, the hearts of others tend to talk back. This way you can really make your world a better and more trustworthy place.

Never underestimate the power of being honest. It can make or break, hurt or heal. Most of all: it clears the sky and makes you realize who you should be spending time with.

Don’t be afraid of the truth.
