If something isn't working for you, a good place to look is where integrity is compromised. Where integrity is compromised, agreements fail, relationships crumble, systems falter, chaos prevails. Lacking integrity, you dishonour yourself and depreciate the value of your word.

Dishonesty sets off a chain reaction of consequences that invariably leads to suffering. Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, physically, financially, and within relationships. Failing to honour and appreciate your word undermines your power, credibility, and effectiveness. Neglecting your commitments gradually erodes your health, wealth and happiness. You already know this to be true. You also know that being true, especially to yourself, works.

Being true to yourself is the unwavering commitment to honouring your own essence and experience. Rather than conforming to societal expectations or trying to be someone you are not, being true requires expressing the truth or your identity. Trusting your own judgement, learning from your mistakes, and embracing whatever you believe to be your own highest power.

When you are true to yourself you are fully responsible for the meaning that you give to things and the way you walk the earth. Always owning the impact of your words and actions. This leads to genuine self-expression and fulfillment. The challenge is, being honest with yourself and others often requires taking risks, dealing with uncertainty, and breaking through your own mental resistance. It also means consistently taking action. Despite your fantasies, fears and doubts.
