Being Honest Inside
All the answers we will ever need are available to us. Even though they seem to come from outside us-through other people-the answers are already inside us. We need only recognize them when they emerge. Something inside us hears the truth, and for a long time we pretend that we don't notice it. But then one day, we decide to get honest about how we really feel.
At that point we gain a bit of freedom. We begin to make progress when we become honest with ourselves about how we really feel. Our Higher Power can help us, but only if we present ourselves with humble honesty.
Am I honest with myself about how I really feel inside?
Higher Power, allow me to really feel today, even though I risk being vulnerable.
