"The great enemy of clear language is insincerity."
George Orwell
If we hold ourselves accountable for our words, we will choose wisely in sharing comments. To speak words of truth resonates within us and also extends clarity to the listener. When we utter false statements, just to be nice, we are misleading not only others, but ourselves as well.
Recalling words spoken sincerely are easier to recall than falsehoods created in a given moment. We build honor and respect within ourselves by speaking and acting honestly. When we are known for our word, that we speak truth, we reflect integrity.
It may be difficult to put our truth into words, but we learn from these experiences. Our honesty can hurt another person, but in the long run, they will be hurt less through the primary encounter. If we falter not knowing our answer, it is best to still be truthful ... "I honestly do not know."
