Always Be Honest With Yourself

by Bright Osadiaye, posted in Health & Well-Being, Improve Academy, Leadership, Management, Personal Development, Workplace Learning Report

‘Honesty is a practice you undertake as a lifelong pursuit of being, rather than an ad hoc criterion weighing on a certain decision.’

‘Dishonesty often works for a time, just as the wax-hewn wings of Icarus helped him soar close to the sun. But just as Icarus learned that the penalty for flying without the proper ingredients can be quite severe, so, too, can practicing dishonesty long term.’

‘Dishonesty is a sneaky threat; one step toward deception can hurt you just as much as the big, glaring lies from those deceitful examples.’

‘Compounded, these small, oft-hidden lies are just as dangerous as billion-dollar deceptions– not only because you might get caught but also because you lose the opportunity to find the truth and all the doors to innovation and advancement that the truth naturally opens.’

‘Time and time again, we followed the path of dishonest gains. And sometimes, instead of disapproving of our deceit, society allowed and even incentivized our dishonest natures- especially if a few influencial souls stood to make a profit.’

‘Someday soon, the window for using lies to get ahead will permanently close. That is approaching more quickly than some unscrupulous leaders would care to admit.’

‘Every challenge your business faces, in every department, is an opportunity in disguise, waiting for you to figure out the win-win-win solution.’

‘Honesty isn’t a cost; it’s an investment that will drive better products, experiences, sales, marketing, finance, culture, and more.’

‘Being honest about what you’re selling, how you’re selling it, and what buyers want out of the buying experience-will lay the foundation for an exceptional outcome every single time.’

‘We must obliterate our self-inflicted roadblocks by changing our behaviors and the behaviors of those around us, which takes either political savvy or brutal truth.’

‘You can’t hear what you’re trying to tell yourself unless you learn to block out the noise and home in on your true identity.’
