The Best Policy
I am feeling extreme gratitude for this weekend. I had a ton of fun @ the Golden Coast and experienced amazing transformation.
One memorable moment was listening to Gay Hendricks talk about how he met his wife, Katie. He asked her out on a date by first establishing that he was seeking for a relationship based on ultimate honesty and the celebration of personal responsibility. Very powerful.
Meeting Gay and interacting with him and observing his relationship with his beautiful vibrant wife really inspires me to be open to a loving relationship filled with exhilarating playfulness, “spiciness” and romance.
I think about the principle of honesty and how critical and essential it is to our growth and happiness. In fact, it is so important, that 4 out 10 commandments are related to dishonesty:
Honesty is important in all relationships. We’ve all lied and learned that lying is only conducive to more lies, misery and failure.
But honesty is more than telling the whole truth all the time. Honesty is being honest with ourselves, sticking to our word and fulfilling our obligations. I once heard it’s easier to be honest 100% than 98% of the time.
I’ve learned that being honest is a conscious, pre-meditated choice one must make. It takes a split second to go either in the direction of transparency or toward telling lies. There are certainly gray areas, but these questions must be addressed to God. The answer is revealed personally to each of us.
I invite you to think of more ways you can be more honest. I am challenging myself to aligning myself with relationships and partnerships that are based in ultimate honesty, integrity and transparency. I believe that the exercising of this virtue is a healthy expectation of the people in our lives, as well as a gift we can bless their lives with.
uhhhh I am ready. Are you?
