Being True

"This above all: To thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."

–Shakespeare, Hamlet: Act 1, Scene 3

Being true first begins with ourselves.

Yes, honesty germinates from within. If you are not true to yourself, you cannot be true with others.

Being true is indeed aligned with honesty. In a culture of approval seekers I assume that we are not as honest as we need to be with ourselves and others. I check myself always.
