It can be difficult to be totally honest with oneself and I'm not sure if anyone really achieves it. We fool ourselves all the time, in little ways and sometimes much bigger ways. Let's say, an over weight or diabetic person convincing themselves that a little more cake won't be bad for them. It's a lie they tell themselves and so, they can't say they've always been totally honest right? It's the same as when a person talks around issues they know exist in a relationship and then decide to stay in it. I think that one happens all the time.
Like, you're not really what you believe you are and deep down you know it, that you have a long way to go.
I actually think we're all in this position, none of us are, or will ever be, perfect. So, I think the honesty aspect comes in the form of understanding that we're a work in progress, always. As long as we're working in the right direction I think it's all we can ask of ourselves.
I could be wrong though. I often am.
Ha! Story of my life ...🤣
