Be Honest As You Practice Humility
In this episode, I talk about the importance of honesty in the accountability code. Without honesty, real change and growth aren’t possible. I share personal stories about how dishonesty can show up in small ways, like making excuses or setting unrealistic goals. Being truthful with yourself brings clarity, peace, and happiness.
I break down key steps, including self-reflection, dropping the ego, setting realistic goals, taking action, and owning commitments. I also stress the importance of feedback and recognizing excuses. Ultimately, honesty helps you stay accountable and create the life you truly want.
