IS HONESTY THE BEST POLICY
hey everyone just got finished with my counselor-wow-honesty is hard very hard-but probably in the long run worth it-and if its worth it then its ok right-did something yesterday at work that was hard and it might not have been the "correct" thing to do but my heart said do it and i was recgonized by the boss man for it-and now i question myself but guess what-i also feel good about it-change can only come about one step at a time-like james has been help teaching me-so baby steps like ive been taking-got to stand for something, right--anyway not really much to say tonight-like i said-lot on my mind-the counselor has given me much to think on-just wanted to get this out there and let your comments reflect back on me-at this time in our country and people being afraid,not concerned,dont really give a crap about anything-well to me yesterday when i made my little stand i felt important-i think we have all sat back too damn long and thought our thoughts didnt matter-tired of feeling that way and my opinion does matter-so feed me back your thoughts on this-we can make a difference-i can help one person be better and they can help me just like james is doing-take care-much love-cynthia

Hi Cynthia, Good for you for taking a stand! Sometimes that's hard to do, but I'm glad you did it! Every new blog of yours sounds better than the last, like you are moving forward. Each day you sound a little happier and more confident in yourself. And I know that Jim has been such a great help to you......like you said, you can help one person too. Just keep up the good work. I'm proud of you, Cynthia!

ReplyDeleteGood for you, Cynthia! Yes, honesty is always the best policy, though there are times when silence is eloquence. It is very important to your self-image to speak you mind when you feel strongly about something. Obviously, you don't have to be hurtful, rude, disrespectful or cruel in doing so, but if you speak the truth as you see it in love, tact, and courtesy, you will command the respect of others, and inevitably, you'll feel better about yourself.
ReplyDeleteMatthew 18:15-17 gives explicit instruction concerning how to deal with someone who "sins" against you. Obviously you can't go through all these steps if the person you're dealing with is not a member of your church, but you can go as far as you can with it. Often the first step is all you really need anyway. The thing you don't want to do is talk to anyone else about a particular person you're having a problem with until you've gone to them first. That's called gossip, and we've all been guilty of that at one point or another. Talking negatively or complaining about someone behind their back is never a good idea, and is almost always hurtful to the person being talked about and the person sharing the information.
However, asserting your right to be treated respectfully and courteously is essential to self respect. Keep up the good work!
Blessings,
Jack
