Brutal honesty?


Would you admit it?

If you were really bad at something would you admit it? I don't mean a bad singer or basketball player, I mean bad at life. If you had poor social skills or parenting skills, would you ever tell anyone? If you did tell someone would you use excuses or just say it straight up? I read an article the other day on brutal honesty and it made me think. I decided to write this blog so that I could find my way to honesty and then I realized that I have barely broken the surface. But how far do you go before it starts to become too much, is there any such thing as too much? Who decides, if you are comfortable writing it does that make it good, does it even matter how other people feel about it?

I don't think that there is much point in being honest with the things that are easier to admit but not with those which are difficult. I guess it changes from person to person, some hold their cards much closer to their chests than others. I don't want to play that game, if I just show you my cards can I stop competing?

If we admit and face the things that are hardest for us I believe that promotes healing much faster than avoidance.

I have made a decision, if it makes me nervous I will do it, unless of course it actually poses a danger to my life or to the life of someone else. It's kind of funny to watch myself react to these uncomfortable situations because I REALLY freak out!

So this should be interesting!!

Oh and GO CANADA!
