I speak the truth at all times. Even when it would be easier or more convenient to lie, I choose truth because it is the right thing to do.
I safeguard my reputation by being truthful because the truth always comes out. Living a transparent life keeps me from shame.
Peace surrounds me, freeing me from the entangling effect of lies. True words shield my soul from stress.
People trust me because they know that I am truthful. Speaking truthfully shows people that I respect them. My relationships benefit from the trust that I earn by being truthful. My children honor me and my colleagues admire me.
I am the same person in private as I am in public. Who I am remains the same regardless of where I am or who is around. I hide nothing because I have nothing to hide.
When I make a mistake, I am humble enough to acknowledge it. It would be easier to cover up my mistakes or blame someone else, but I have the strength it takes to come face to face with the truth. The easy way out often leads to a dead end.
Fear triggers lies. Fear of consequences is what tries to make me distort the truth. I overcome fear with truth because lies only make matters worse. I am a person of integrity, courageous enough to take responsibility for my actions.
Today, I choose to speak truthfully in every situation I encounter. I embrace the courage found within me and accept responsibility for my actions.
