The Honest response

A Honest response is always the best way to avoid communication conflicts, and yet it is one of the hardest things situations we find ourselves in, sometimes on a daily basis. Today, whenever I'm in doubt, I do my best to remember this phrase:

"The Truth will always keep my head above water"

Still there are many situations when we don't even realize that we haven't spoken our truth. There are many situations when we realize after the fact that we sold ourselves again.

For most people this awareness isn't even part of the concept.Now what if it were? What if we could stop and ask ourselves the question: Does this work for me? Is this in the best interest of me?

When you come from a place of love and ask yourself what is to your " highest good" you can give an honest response especially when the response is "No" and feel no blame, and guilt.

Whenever you find yourself saying "Yes" to something at first, and later realize that you really didn't want to you can always change your mind at any time.
