Hi Susan – Honesty does make you vulnerable. But, paradoxically, being vulnerable, even with yourself, requires a lot of strength and courage.

Amanda: As I think I said on Twitter, this post couldn’t be more timely and right on. I’m beginning to think that honesty with oneself is one of the first steps to recovery — it’s that self-awareness, admitting your flaws and weaknesses in order to become better and stronger, in order to correct the things that need correcting. Honesty makes you vulnerable, but I think it also offers you strength and motivation to change, as you suggest.

This is such a great post, and one that I will have bookmarked for the reminder of what it means to be honest and how that alone can change the way you think of yourself and your circumstances. Thanks!

Hi Keith – That’s a great way to view failure in a bit different light. Thanks.

Hi Dani – It is difficult! Probably why it’s so worthwhile to do.

Hi Avani – Great idea for getting at the root of your problems. With only one question!

Amanda, you got me thinking about what I do. What I do most often is ask myself am I happy? Answering this truthfully leads me to what I can do to make things better or what is it that I am not comfortable with in my life. .-= Avani Mehta´s last blog ..Enrich Your Life – Part 1 =-.

What a great post, Amanda! I truly believe that being honest with ourselves is one of the most important things we can do. It's also one of the hardest sometimes. Looking for truth in everything though is the best way to live life, even if it's hard at times. Thanks for sharing your insights on this topic. It's SO important!! .-= Positively Present´s last blog ..a positive present just for you =-.

Hello Amanda,

Another way to look at “failures” in life is to view them as “results”. You work your plan that you have for achieving and review your progress, or look at the results you have from the actions you have been taking. If those results do not align with your ultimate goal, then modify your plan and go at it again!

A very good article Amanda!
