2010=being honest with myself and others

Anyone that knows me knows that I am always worried about others feelings. I am very nice too nice at times and for a long time I felt that was the way to face people and make friends in this world. I have finally realized that no matter how nice you can come across not everyone will like you. People will always find something negative to say about/to you especially if they see that you are in a good space in your life. Lying to spare others feelings only hurts them in the end so my new year's resolution for 2010 is to be honest...I never considered myself a liar and honesty is up there on my list of qualities I look for in the opposite sex but I am not always truthful when it comes to what I really want out of life. I worried about others opinions and feelings so much that in turn it was my life that I wasn't happy with. All of the important people in my life always kept it real with me no matter how much it hurt so why can't I do the same? I have never been a blunt person but there are times when bluntness is necessary. At the same time when dealing with certain people you have to have different approaches but as long as the truth is out there then I will be satisfied. I have heard the saying "The truth shall set you free." time and time again but never pondered the real meaning behind its words until now. Being truthful to others in turn helps me to be true to myself and get to where I want to be in life. No regrets just happiness and ultimately free from many of life's burdens. This is going to be a challenge but nothing worth having comes easy! So tell me what you think about this post and I will be as honest as I hope you are in my reply!!!
