The Importance of Honesty

“What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.”  ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe~ 


Honesty seems to be a thing of the past. Long ago, a person's word could be valued and upheld.....today honesty is dormant. Where have all of the honest people gone or was honesty ever classified enough for people to remain believers of honesty. Some people do not expect the truth because of knowing another person will not deliver the truth; however, if a person never expects any good....why get mad when it’s not given. To better equip ourselves for a dishonest world, we must learn to be honest with ourselves, family, friends, and associates. I always say, "People will not always consider what you said or how you said it, but they will commit to memory the significance of the topic and the truthfulness.
