Honesty ~ Are You Being Honest With Yourself?

The hardest person to be honest with is ourselves. We don't like to think that we tell ourselves lies. But we do. Or maybe they aren't lies they are excuses.  Kind of like the reasons we resist.

If we were honest with ourselves there would be time for exercise - Instead of watching hours of TV or spending hours in front of Facebook how hard would it be to carve 30 minutes out of that time to take a walk, stretch or do some yoga poses?

What other things can you think of that we lie to ourselves about???

What are you lying to yourself about??

Quotes

Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heart-ache when we read those lines written by the hand of a master and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth and beauty. Every man, when he gets quiet, when he becomes desperately honest with himself, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, to discover what is already there. ~ Henry Miller

Responsibility to self simply means to acknowledge inner truth—our imperfections and our power, our beauty. ~ John Pierrakos

"This life is yours. Take the power to choose what you want to do and do it well. Take the power to love what you want in life and love it honestly. Take the power to walk in the forest and be a part of nature. Take the power to control your own life. No one else can do it for you. Take the power to make your life happy." ~ Susan Polis Schutz

Stop Pushing: The Art of Relaxed Achievement ~ This is a great post . . . reminds me of my blog post from yesterday about resistance. Pushing really is just another type of resistance.

"Make the conscious choice to act from love, not fear. Fear is the pushing, manipulating, controlling force, and love is the pull in your heart that will guide you to the path of least resistance."

Don't Stop Believing ~ "Please don’t give up.
Don’t let the gremlins stop you.
Know that you are not alone. Please don’t quit.
Bring it on. We need you, we need your voice.
Please don’t stop believing in yourself.
Those gremlins are illusions."

Happy People Have Sh*;%%# Lives Too ~ I apologize if you find the profanity in the post offensive. I do believe there are some good tips here though.

Put Down The Goals!! ~ Goals are a way to motivate yourself, to help focus your efforts. They are not meant to be your ruling body. Own them, don’t allow them to own you.

Being Original ~ There is no competition. There is no you verses them. When you create from a place of pure love and creativity, a place without fear or competition, without self-doubt or limitation, a place void of ego and selfishness, then you will create work that is original.
