Morning Motivator – The Hard Truth of Honesty

"Each time you are honest and conduct yourself with honesty, a success force will drive you toward greater success. Each time you lie, even with a little white lie, there are strong forces pushing you toward failure."
-Joseph Sugarman

What is the hardest thing about being TRULY honest in your thoughts and actions? I believe it's the FEAR of rejection. When someone is being wholly honest they are, in a sense, making themselves very vulnerable for rejection. When you are honest, nothing is sugar coated and the results are never known to be positive or negative – there can be a lot of anxiety and fear. At the root of it all - No one likes to be rejected and more over no one likes to be vulnerable. Yet, how many successful people have never been rejected? (sound familiar?)

Consider this though – if you are not truthful with someone, how can the results of any actions or discussion be positive? If your ability to ENHANCE a relationship – business, personal or spiritual – is based on half-truths, then what is the FOUNDATION for success? One must understand that success bred from a false beginning will result in EMPTY SUCCESS. You will likely achieve the outward shell of what others think is success – but you will know the truth.

Here is your SUCCESS (action) step – Examine the "SUCCESSES" you have achieved in your life – car, house, money, boats, etc – and write down what about those possessions makes you SUCCESSFUL. Then write down what you define your PERSONAL SUCCESS – business and relationships – looks like and should be. Make sure they align. Next, take any and all steps to secure the BEST fits while quickly disposing of the WORST fits. This will be your first step towards an HONEST feeling of COMPLETE SUCCESS.

Your ability to achieve your dreams is more powerful than your understanding – confidently move forward and enjoy the rewards. Make this weekend a great one!

Cheers,
Zach
