| The Energy Of Honesty |
by Madisyn Taylor As children most of us learn that honesty is better than dishonesty, and we may not question this beyond whether or not to do what we're told. As adults, however, we can go deeper to examine our choices as investments of energy with predictable risks and returns. When we speak the truth, we affirm what already is. This is like using a paddle when the stream is already moving the same direction. We are already supported by the universe and its energy flow, so we don't need to exert much energy, leaving more for other pursuits. But dishonesty redirects a portion of our energy against the flow, which requires extra effort. In addition, it creates an alternate reality that requires further energetic input to be maintained. So we can easily see that we are best served when we work with the flow of the universe.
Life is not always clearly defined, so we may find it useful to follow our choices to their logical conclusions. We may feel that little untruths are harmless, but they can be like small cracks that weaken an overall structure over time. Even giving someone a compliment or trying to protect them can create problems later when the alternate reality we've created becomes the basis for further actions. Even if the actions that follow are honestly done, the underlying unstable foundation of dishonesty will threaten to topple things eventually. This can lead to further energy being spent on keeping things hidden, working to remember the tales we've spun and fearing the consequences of being found out. Life doesn't need to be this draining, but we can make the choice to free ourselves from the bonds of dishonesty at any time.
Speaking and living our truth may involve risking, among other things, the possibility of rejection. But when we allow ourselves to follow the flow of life, we are supported. We can then use our energy to cultivate physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being and to create our dreams, rather than leaving ourselves too drained to even maintain our existence. Today we can make honesty our choice in every interaction, bringing the nurturing power of the universe's energy into our lives to bring positive, lasting results. | DailyOM Course Spotlight by Lair Torrent Should relationships be this difficult? Yes, they should--but not for the reasons so many couples are experiencing. Relationships shouldn't be difficult because of communication issues, trouble in the bedroom, building or rebuilding trust, financial pressures--or any of the other problems that top the lists of reasons couples fail, seek counseling, or divorce. Those struggles are symptoms of a deeper issue that plagues almost every couple. If you think that's stated for dramatic effect, then why is the divorce rate holding steady at 50%? Why are more couples than ever reporting less overall happiness and satisfaction? Even with all of the self-help books and therapies out there, we have failed to move the needle on creating passionate, loving relationships that stand the test of time. Now's the time to change that. In this course, you'll discover The Five Guideposts to connection and how you can put them to use immediately in your relationship. Learn how to be a more mindful and present partner, to speak your truth even when it's uncomfortable, and to rebuild trust and love with this course.
