How we decide to engage with it is the weight we must carry.

The way we choose to live our lives shapes who we become. If we go against the feeling in our bones of what is right, then we will carry the weight of our choice to do so. I certainly soften the truth to be compassionate and keep from being rude. But I don’t lie. I’m honest with the people in my life and with myself. Because, I have learned that when you are honest, you are light. Remember, honesty is weightless. The opposite is not. Being honest removes the stress, fear, and drama from your life. It keeps your mind clear and your heart open. You have nothing to carry. You are light. That is how you fly.

It isn’t possible to be in the present when your mind is full of dishonest stress. You are always anxious that the truth is lurking. Worried that your story will fall apart. The anxious momentum of dishonesty will keep you distracted. Flashing memories of past dishonesty pull you out of your experience. The dread of what might come out will always be on the horizon like a dark cloud cover. Peace cannot be found in a life of dishonesty. These types of distracting thoughts make you miss the beautiful life that is right in front of you.

To stay here, in the abundance of now, we must practice honesty. I use the phrase “practice honesty” for a reason. This is because being honest or dishonest is a simple choice. You can go anywhere you want in this life and be honest the whole way. The modern world sometimes suggests to us that it is normal and even necessary to be dishonest. Especially when we are competing with others. But this just isn’t true. Think of the extra room you’ll have in your brain from not worrying about being dishonest. Imagine the energy you’ll have to devote to what you love if you aren’t drained from the stress of bad memories. Honesty gives you energy. It gives you more room for peace, creativity, and love.

Telling the brutal truth is not a way to stay in the present. It lacks compassion and creates unnecessary suffering in the world. Being dishonest is also not the way. Doing so causes stress to build and leaves you dragging the weight of your worry. The way of presence is the way of choice. When you decide to live a life of honesty, you become weightless. You float. You expand. You glow. Vitality charges. Most important, you are free. Free from the burden of your mind. Free to experience the vast essence of the present. Your mind is clean without worry. Your heart opens without fear. The mind and heart expand and touch. You are here.
