True honesty to the self brings the power to bring about change. To be honest is not just to be truthful. It is more to be honest with the self. The one who is honest with the self constantly has the aim of bringing about a change for the better. Each situation is used as a chance for the betterment of the self. So there is always the aim not to repeat the mistakes that are committed once. When we are honest with ourselves we are able to feel the constant progress and experience the happiness of moving forward under all circumstances. We have the power to understand the situation, not just from our point of view, but more in a detached way. So we are able to understand and accept whatever the situation holds for us and learn from it humbly.
~ Brahma Kumaris, Mt Abu.
