Leaping ahead with honesty!

By Bamboo In The Wind

Honesty is your virtue. Way of being. It represents a deep and pervasive commitment to seeking out the truth. You can learn to be honest. Experiences tell you when we behave transparently and truthfully, it earns you respect.

Shaping your thinking, to be honest is always possible. You can use techniques to learn to see if you respond to situations selflessly. 

Being honest means telling the truth. This means avoiding the temptation to refuse mistakes. It also means making sure to volunteer your best behavior. 

A large part of demonstrated Honesty comes from your natural inclination. It's the urge that is part of you. Have you ever felt the dither when you try to speak the untruth?

You are required to make efforts to be dishonest. You are still tempted to be so.

Why is that the case?

The path of Honesty requires strong self-belief, producing work, dealing with failures, and establishing your belief system based on experiences.

It means you face obstacles, opposition, and rejection. You might be questioned for possessing a point of view contrary to public sentiment. 

It slows you down, and you will feel the treadmill syndrome. Hard work that yields no recognition and little progress.

Dishonesty can give us shortcuts. It offers quicker short-term benefits. It gives you a sense of making progress.

In the long run, Honesty wins. It cannot be disputed. It does not ask for favors. There are long-proven efforts that substantiate the results.

Honesty is a long-term strength. Honesty is feared. Honesty gives you respect for being selfless.

Checks and balances!

Defining a good purpose, setting a target goal and getting people working on them is usually not enough! There are too many aspects involved in getting the results we want.

Just putting bodies to work and defining milestones rarely achieves the right results. The other aspects that help march towards the milestones in an orderly manner, they are equally important. At the very least, they make objectives widely understandable and results more attainable. The job of a thought leader is to enable progress and enable recovery. Therefore, it is never enough to have just ideas. Those with ideas also have the responsibility to assemble the work environment in such a way as to create situations containing the energy disperses. Energy dispersal from lack of clarity, loss of motivation, ...

Liked? Or Respected?

By Bamboo In The Wind
It is easy to bend backwards and accomodate others. When you do so, it is obvious to generate affection that leads to you being likeable. You tend to be always available, seek others' attention more that what your needs are for yourself, or do things to transactionally connect with others. As long as you continue doing what others prefer, you are sure to be liked! And who does not like to liked like that! People pleasing acts have huge downsides. It is different when you set boundaries, take a principled stand about when do you indulge with collaborative activity involving others and when you focus on your priorities. Principles drive energies, brings rigor and sets responsibilities. It is governed with consistency and you come across that uniform, thought and consistent in any and every situation as against preferential. Obviously, principled person is hard to pierce into. When you do, you will discover rythem of clear communication, prioritisation, importance of building long-ter...

Own it!

By Bamboo In The Wind
Owning is an act of proactive work.  You own through willingness and willingness emerges as a result of feeling the sense of belonging. Initiative helps define baby steps that gives you access to responsibility. Responsibility allows you to take actions that give you the power to influence but never control the outcomes. However, this act of taking baby steps eventually lets us be owners - of our own decisions. Owning vital responsibility usually results in desired results and happiness for yourselves or owning responsibility can sometimes mean taking an arduous endless path to make those around you happy. The best you can do is to own your decisions and accept the outcomes you get.
