Quest For Peace, Part One: Honesty - Update 1

This morning I was reading "Standing For Something" by President Hinkley once again. I was right in the middle of the honesty section (Go figure).


It has been very inspirational to read President Hinkley's work, and I always find myself coming away with a great conviction to work hard on my flaws.


On particular statement in this chapter took my resolve, squashed it, then used the pieces to make a resolve that was stronger. It goes like this:

Men and Women of integrity understand intrinsically that theirs is the precious right to hold their heads in the sunlight of truth, unashamed before anyone.

That appealed to me, especially because I have experienced the cowardly soak in self-pity that is characteristic of the deceitful communicator. So I once again resolved to correct any and all deceits.


I also realized that I had not made any commitments future-wise, so I decided to make a commitment to stay 100% honest in my interactions - something else that President Hinkley established as a wonderful quality.


Here I come, honesty and truth!
