Theres this book I read, full of good advice, life lessons and guidance. It stresses a few points but the ones that scream at me are rigorous honesty and keeping a moral inventory. Look, in all honesty I suck at these things. Often my first impulse is to lie, I tend to bend rules if not all out ignore them. Now I dont know about you or the normal Joe but rigorous honesty takes a lot of focus for me. In some ways its a lot easier said than done.. I mean the simple answer is just not to lie. But so many years of something it becomes a second nature. I can guarantee that today I am more honest, with myself and others. Yeah Im probably still gonna say no that dress doesnt make your ass look big or yeah I like that purse, but on the other hand I will tell ya where Im going or what I did yesterday. It just makes me realize it takes work to undo a life time of wrong doing. But Im proud to do it. Point two is I constantly have to keep myself in check. Take a step back and inventory the things I did today. Were they right, good, did they support my thoughts and ambitions or were they slowly working against me, eating away at my peace of mind and my soul. Hopefully they fall into the latter, but not always. So then I just try to do it that much better next time. Cause Ive herd theres two directions in life forwards and backwards... And lets be honest my friends if your not doin one then chances are your doin the other.
