Strive for authenticity and honesty from "summary" of The Dance of Connection by Harriet Lerner
The process of striving for authenticity and honesty is an ongoing journey that requires a commitment to self-exploration and vulnerability. It involves a willingness to confront and challenge our own beliefs, assumptions, and behaviors, even when it feels uncomfortable or difficult. This process requires us to be open and honest with ourselves about our thoughts, feelings, and experiences, as well as with others in our lives. Authenticity is about being true to ourselves and living in alignment with our values, beliefs, and desires. It requires us to let go of the need to please others or conform to societal expectations, and instead, to prioritize our own needs and well-being. This means being willing to speak our truth, even when it may be unpopular or met with resistance. Honesty, on the other hand, is about being truthful and transparent in our interactions with others. It involves being open and sincere in our communication, and not withholding information or manipulating the truth to protect ourselves or others. Honesty requires us to take responsibility for our words and actions, and to be accountable for the impact they have on others. When we strive for authenticity and honesty in our relationships, we create a foundation of trust and respect that allows for deeper connection and intimacy. By being authentic and honest with ourselves and others, we invite others to do the same, fostering a sense of mutual understanding and empathy.- It is ultimately a rewarding and liberating experience. It allows us to live with integrity and authenticity, and to cultivate relationships that are based on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. By embracing our true selves and speaking our truth, we can create more meaningful and fulfilling connections with others, and live a life that is in alignment with our deepest values and desires.
