The strength provided by taking the honest route as opposed to a route that is not true to your intentions is unable to be matched by any other procedure. When you exemplify/explain your intent during interactions with people that matter to you, there will be a variety of responses. They will range from seeming to be very supportive to being very opposed to your plans/view. You may have a fear of their responses and how they may effect the ability of your plan to materialize or your viewpoint to shine through.
Your short-term thinking might be telling you that taking the honest route will turn out terribly, at least in the coming period of time. This might be accurate in that the period of time following your expression of honesty(true intent) may be full of attacks on your character, decision-making ability, or general well-being. There may be pain that arises which seems to be unbearable. You may end up questioning whether being honest was the right choice, but that will probably either not occur, or you will end up answering your own question instantly with a definitive “yes”.
That definitive self-assurance is part of the strength-building package that comes with having stayed true to your intent. It will propel you forward more forcibly than you would have expected. The same people that tried to attack your honest decision that matches your personal goals/views will soon either wish to join you in your actions or stay jealous of your forward-thinking movement. As long as you stuck to honest statements in relation to this matter, you will continue to accumulate reasons to progress forward.
I would like to speak now to the person that is thinking “That is easy to say, but hard to follow through with.” I agree wholeheartedly. I have avoided this powerful procedure various times in the past, and have paid for it in mentral struggle. Until the results of being honest become actualized(palpable) in a situation where lying seems to be beneficial for now, there is much resistance to taking the honest path. I would say that it is up to you to take a risk in this instance, or if you are not up for the risk as of yet, use a past event where your honesty served as motivation that propelled you forward as an example. The act of following your true intent with communication and action based on it enhances your feeling of living.

Great advice
I always try to apply honesty to anything I do. Whenever I review things or give my opinions, I never hold back. Obviously, this offends some people, but the majority of people appreciate it. If you don’t say what you mean, then you don’t really mean what you’re saying.
Connected to that, it would appear that those that are honest are able to save much time getting their point out at the first opportunity instead of after much anguish.
Building anything in life, requires honesty if you want a good foundation. A good foundation is a must for the long haul. Sometimes, all we have is our word and integrity, and that is used to how me message up as a human being. What we say and do, projects who and what we are. So, people really don’t have to judge us, we actually judge ourselves. This is my opinion.
Squeaky: I am glad you added in that part about how we actually judge, or serve as a check, on ourselves. It tends to be the case that we keep more of a record of our own inconsistencies than others do.
