I am in a constant quest for truth and honesty. I'm tired of playing games and beating around the bush. All I want now is truth and honesty from myself and others. In a sometimes materialistic, narcissistic world, everyone and everything seems fake. So-called reality shows are not really reality. It's what they want you to see. I don't believe anyone's life is that interesting, whether you're rich or poor, famous or not.
Truth and honesty starts with yourself. You can't find it on others until you find it in yourself first. Look in the mirror and be honest with yourself. When you're not pretending to be someone else or something you're not, things get a lot easier. Your expectations are not as high.
Once you're being honest with yourself, you can start to find it in others. Look beyond the crap and look into that person's soul. You may almost feel clairvoyant. Don't take things at face value. Ask questions and get to the bottom of things. Somewhere deep down is the fountain of truth. It may not always be pretty but it's real and that's what you want.
I believe we're all selfish people, some more than others. No one does anything without getting something in return. Even if you volunteer, you may not get paid money, but you feel good about yourself. That's the payoff. If you can find someone else's payoff, that's gold. Motivation is the key. We all get out of bed in the morning for someone or something. Find that reason and be honest. Not everyone is doing what they love. Not everyone is in a happy relationship.
Sometimes honesty and truth can hurt. But in the end, isn't it better to be honest, then to have years of lies and unhappiness. What a waste of time. If we could all be honest then maybe we could save ourselves a lot of heartache and move on. Let's all walk in the truth and be honest, not only with ourselves, but each other. We'll be better people for it and maybe the world would be a better place.
