Hi, I'm Johnny john. Today I want to talk about honesty, how we can use it to accelerate the journey of self transformation. So honesty is one of the easier catalysts to understand. It's also the most powerful catalysts to develop self transformation, one of the most powerful, but it's also one of the most difficult to practice. Because a lot of us have fears. And this can prevent us from being honest all the time.

We may fear expressing our opinions and fear of hurting other people's feelings. One fear that others may reject us. We may fear saying things to our parents, and the fear of disrespecting them and the list just goes on. Now when no fears can stop us from being honest and when we let our fears Overcome us, we can start wearing different masks, masks for our friends, a mask for our work colleagues, well, boss. And the more masks we wear in life, the more we will create a disconnection within. It's only by being honest that we can remove these myths where we can rebuild connection back with ourselves.

Now being honest, other time can be impractical. For instance, to tell our workaholics we don't like the perfume to tell our boss that he's doing a crap job. But being honest, it's not about pissing people off. It's simply about being honest and what you feel. And if you want to express it, they express it honestly. So if someone asks you for an opinion, or if there's something you want to say, and you say it, the thesis means you're being held back by it, you're not being honest.

Therefore, someone can seem really confusing how to do this, because some of us may have already become masters at lying. But with practice, you will also become masters and no lying, and people will appreciate you for it. Because the most beautiful gift you can give to this world is to be who you are, to give to show the world in a clearer way. who you are what you think your opinions This will allow people to know you to learn from you will also help you to learn about yourself to know about your deeper desires about your deeper selves. Practicing honesty can also help you on the journey of self transformation by uncovering by digging up the hidden negativities fears you have inside because you no longer have a means to wear masks to hide from, to hide behind that mask through lying. Now you have to express your true opinions to everyone else to see.

So this can bring up a lot of fears to do with the fear of being rejected the fear of hurting other people. So this will doing this being honest, will help to uncover the negativities into light. And being honest will also help you and the sense that it will help you with transforming your negativities because to transform anything which arises inside you have to first accepted honesty, honestly. So the practice of honesty can also be about being honest with you and ourselves. Being honest with you. your emotional self, worth your mental self, to accept that you have desires that you have this looks to exceed that you have a passion to accept whether or not you want to be in your current job.

Whether or not you want to be with a certain person, whether or not you want to leave a relationship. So honesty can be practiced, in many ways within itself with the other selves. Now, on my own journey of practicing honesty, honesty really helped me because in the past, I used to have a fear of talking to people. And by some chance, if I was with a group of people like for lunch, sitting on the table, I would always shy away even though they may be people that I know quite closely. It's just that when there's more than three people, I just find myself Scared of expressing my opinions or fear that they might laugh at me, Barry and then the most common question I get during lunch gatherings is that people would ask me, are you okay Johnny? And I would always lie or do I say, yeah, I'm okay.

But are you okay? I would just throw it back at them, making them think that it's the own problem, but it was me. And so I would do this for all sorts of situations when I feel when the fear kicks in. As a result, I experienced a lot of disconnection with them. For instance, I if I experienced anger, I wouldn't even be aware until the very next day. Practicing honesty allowed me to reconnect back with myself.

I became more and more aware at a quicker and quicker pace at what am I feeling, what my desires are, and who I really want to be what I really want to do in life And uncovering these negativities through being honest, can also help me to work through them developing more self confidence. So, honesty is certainly a great catalyst to accelerate anyone's journey of self transformation. So I would encourage you to practice honesty. That's certainly beneficial for yourself for your happiness
