Ten Tips To Be More Truthful

Ten Tips To Be More Truthful

1. Make a commitment to tell the truth

      Sometimes we get into situations where we decide to make a mistake and blame someone else. It doesn’t feel to get the blame but sometimes it is worth it. It’s because we ourselves need to learn from our own mistakes and get taught a new lesson. A quote by Abraham Lincoln says,” Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.” Telling the truth makes situations to be easily solved then lying. Always tell the truth because lying won’t get you anywhere and everything comes to light.

2. Tell someone about your commitment

       Telling someone your commitment is hard because sometimes you will do things that they will yell at your or get mad at you and you won’t like that. It’s actually the best thing you can do. Why? It’s because that person can help you out in life and make you successful for example our parents they want the best for their children. A quote by Dr. Steve Maraboli says,” Intent reveals desire; actions reveal commitment.” We make mistakes but there is someone to help us out of any situation. It’s okay to tell someone your commitment.

3.Think before you give a dishonest answer, explanation, sarcasm, or reason.
        When ever you are in a situation you would want to try to talk yourself out of it. It my take a while for someone to answer right away but you will studer. 

4. Be careful of when and how you exaggeration, sarcasm, or irony.
        Think before you speak because you never know how the situation will end up once you speak. Its always important because you don't want to hurt anyone's feelings and especially someone who is really close to you. Words hurt more then punches to the face. Why? Punches just leave you marks and sooner or later the marks on your body or face go away. When words offend someone that person gets hurt from inside, the person's emotions break down from that moment, and there is no way to get that persons trust of happy side out of them. Be careful when you speak because you can hurt someone.

5. Be careful mot to twist the truth or leave out part of it

          When you get it trouble always explain how things happened because you want to solve the problem, not make it worse. You won't want to get blamed for something you did that someone else had caused. Sometimes people won't back you up and some do to be honest. Don't take advantage of people you know that will get your back because sometime that person won't be there to help you out. You should be able to back up yourself and give a firm explanation so that you don't get into more trouble.

6. Don't indulge in little white lies
            "Someday you will look back and know exactly why it had to happen."



7. Watch out for silent lies 
           "No matter how much the truth hurts, its always better than being lied to."






8. When you catch yourself lying, throw your mouth into reverse.
         "If you tell the truth, it becomes part of your past. If you tell a lie, it becomes part of your future."






9. Talk to yourself
           "Talking to yourself motivates you to get the job done."



10. Treat yourself when you tell the truth
            "You may find the worst enemy or best friend in yourself."
