Posts From Old Website – June 2015
My old website was a Weebly site and as of today there is no way to import my old blog posts from Weebly to Word Press. So, I’m going to post them here.
The dates will be off, but the content will be the same.
HARSH HONESTY
06/30/2015
I have the “gift” (I use that term very loosely) of being able to see the lies that people tell themselves, the little flaws and foibles that everyone keeps hidden. I don’t think that it’s healthy and at least for my family, I point these things out. Now, I never do it to be mean (although it certainly has caused some of them to not speak to me for a little while). Instead, I do it because I believe that it is freeing to look at yourself honestly and accept yourself for who you are flaws and all.
I’m not above improving yourself. If you see something in yourself that you don’t like (and if you are being honest you should find something) then change. It won’t be easy and it won’t be fast, but you can do it and you should. You should also find some other flaws that don’t bother you, and those you should accept.
For example: I know that I have this tendency to be brutally honest with people, but I kind of like that about myself even if others don’t. I can control it. I mean, please, I am not brutally honest at work. I’d be unemployed if I were. I am also quite a bit overweight. I’m not happy about that, but I no longer get upset if someone mentions it (not that people do on a regular basis, most people are more polite than that). But the truth is if you are fat it is not a secret. Everyone knows. so why get upset about it.
