Honesty

I really enjoyed playing with the Spirit@Work® Card, honesty. I’ve discovered that if I take truth to a deeper level that life looks a little differently. Through honesty, I can be aware of and share what is there.

Honesty is also one of the cornerstones for the writing of my book, Footprints On My Soul.

What I’m realizing about this practicum is that it really is more than writing my book and becoming a better and masterful coach. It’s about digging deeper than the obvious truth and discovering what it’s really about.

How is honesty showing up in my life? Where isn’t it showing up? Why isn’t it? I need to be completely honest with myself before I can be truly honest with others. To do that I will need to incorporate the Castle Principles® – Courage, Authenticity, Service, Truthfulness, Love, and Effectiveness. I have to turn all of them inward and explore what I find there. Who am I? Why? Who do I want to be? How do I get there?

I found the write-up in the book very interesting and rang true for me on so many levels. The question at the end impacted me the most:

How will I bring honesty into all my relationships?

The sections of the poem that I felt really spoke to who I am are:

My Soul walks the path of honesty.

and,

I speak lovingly. I act authentically.

I live honestly.

and,

Holding only what is mine, speaking only what is true.

Those are perfect concepts to keep in mind while I’m writing my book, and living my life.
