The Importance of Honesty in Building Character – Success Tip #1

Character is like a bridge – If you have good character then it will take you across to the other side, if you don’t then it will drop you in the water.

Character

There are many traits that make up your character and over the next couple of posts I will discuss a separate trait that when combined with each other and adhered to will go a long way in developing success in your life.

The first trait is HONESTY

I believe Honesty is the key to our success. Ben Franklin once said, “Honesty is the best policy”.

One definition of honesty is when you speak the truth and act truthfully. Honesty is about being real with yourself and others about who you are. My father once told me that. “Character is what you do when no one is looking”. Do you do the same thing when they are looking? Ask yourself that?

Honesty allows people to take responsibility for their feelings and behaviors, owning them, and reaping benefits by doing so.

An honest person doesn’t do things that are morally wrong.

In business and in life if you are honest in your dealing with others, and you refuse to be deceitful or commit fraudulent acts then you will build trust in them which will lead to more openness. This will expand opportunities that you can pursue. Throughout my life I have been more open-minded speaking about subjects to people that I believe to be honest and trustworthy. It is the starting point of a relationship. Friendships and business associates are built on this area so it would behoove you to make this the Most important trait in your character development.

5 Simple Ways to Cultivate Gratitude Daily

  • Be grateful for the things you have. Zig Zigler talked of being happy in who you are because if you aren’t then you will never be happy for others. his basic philosophy of life was that we must love ourselves before we can give unconditional love to others. Robert Emmons of greatergood.berkely.edu uses, “Grateful motions that include smiling, saying thank you, and writing letters of gratitude.”

“When you are grateful, fear disappears, and abundance appears.”
― Anthony Robbins

“Gratitude is one of the most powerful human emotions. Once expressed, it changes attitude, brightens outlook, and broadens our perspective.”
― Germany Kent

Five things you can do to become more grateful

Every day express two things that happened to you that day. Say them aloud so that it makes an impression on yourself and others. This is a powerful motivator for your well being.

Thank your partner for things they either did or just for being supportive of your successes. (Even if they are the littlest of things).

look for the benefits of life’s challenges. There is always a lesson that will benefit your progress in all failings. open up your thoughts to what they might be.

When something good happens because of your changes, take a moment to reflect on it and reward yourself in some way. Go out to dinner, buy yourself something you want but felt guilty if you did. Something that you can look back on and say this is for achieving something i wanted to achieve.

one of the most rewarding things to do is send a nice comment on social media to friends or loved ones on a daily basis. This will reflect well towards you knowing that you appreciate them in some way. it can just be a simple thank you for something they did or just a hello to check on
