Honesty....
Honesty is a beautiful thing and comes to us all naturally. We are born honest. Think about children...ever just have a conversation with a 3 year old? They are naturally honest...in a pure and sweet way. For some reason we teach them to start being dishonest.
It starts with little things...don’t say that, you can’t say that out loud, don’t tell so and so, etc. Why don’t we teach them more tactful ways to express their honesty? Instead...we teach them to be dishonest...and this then starts us all down the path of dishonesty. Teaching us all to keep things from each other...hide our true feelings.
It’s a beautiful thing to have honest conversation. Expressing true feelings...now there is a why it should be done...not hurtful. Sometimes it’s hard to start a conversation...but it’s so refreshing to have conversations where everyone can know the real truth once it’s over and decide where to go from there.
Just remember that next time you have a coaching moment with a child...teach them how to be honest. What a world this would be if we all learned how to talk to each other being honest and not hurtful...can you imagine???
Until tomorrow...
