Being honest can be a tough task. In a "perfect" world all people would be honest at all times. However, perfection, as we conceptualize it, is an illusory idea. For instance, if a gunman will allow you to live if you tell him you like Snickers bars, but you don't, you might want fib, maybe just this once. And while this may sound a bit mischievous to the proclaimed saints amongst us, not everyone at all times can be open and honest.

There one place where honesty at all times is key. That place is within. No matter what you shield from the world; no matter where you are trying to hide, you cannot hide from yourself. Coincidentally, it seems that those who fib most are not so much lying to others as they are lying to themselves. Lying to oneself is extremely detrimental to personal balance and mental health, yet many do it all the time. Strangely, in our society, self deception is a common occurrence. Our subconscious minds may be screaming the truth but those mental words of manipulation somehow are louder. If you take the time, however, to be honest; if you face up to yourself, you will discover a unique power within. This power will pave the way towards all sorts of accomplishments. With it you can tackle issues, accomplish goals or even simply clear up old emotions.
