“This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man. “
Shakespeare
Once we understand the power of truth, it’s hard to go back to anything else. If we go off track and enter the land of the white lie, we tend to feel it in our bodies. So then, what does it mean to be true to thyself. Quite a large subject to cover. To be true to thyself includes knowing what we value and what’s important to us and living these truths daily. Being true to ourself also includes having the discretion and integrity to know what truly being honest means and to be very clear about what is not true for us in our lives. Entering this level of clear thinking and commitment places a personal responsibility on us to live in a way where we value all life. Once we reach this level of truth, it becomes impossible, “to be false to any man”.
