Living a life of policy..
Honesty is truly the way to go when it comes to being honest in life, no matter what you are doing. Being honest in life means more than just telling the truth. It is also about being sincere and true to yourself. As it defines your character, honesty is the key to success.
People often question whether they themselves are honest or not. They have a sense that they need to lie in order to make themselves look good. They feel bad if they say the truth but feel guilty when they do it. If you really feel good about yourself then honesty comes naturally. When you are honest in your life, you will also be truthful in business because if you are truthful you cannot help but be honest in everything you do.
A dishonest person is not honest in business nor in other aspects of their lives. The hallmark of an honest person is a high degree of integrity. People are able to trust and place their trust in others because of this honesty. When you try to be dishonest with other people around us, we will see that it will backfire against us.
It is good human nature to want to be trustworthy. Honesty shows respect for oneself and others. Honesty also shows a high level of self-awareness. When a person is honest with themselves and others, they also become honest with themselves and others when it comes to failures and challenges in their lives.
This brings us to the point that telling the truth is also a good human trait. When a person is honest in their dealings, they are not likely to fabricate things that do not exist. In fact, being truthful in all dealings strengthens our character because it helps us avoid situations that will make us vulnerable. It also helps us find success more easily. The end result of integrity is a successful and fulfilled life.
Self-awareness is a key factor in maintaining honesty in the workplace and in other areas of your life. If you want to maintain integrity in your dealings with others then it is important that you have self-awareness. The first step is to understand what constitutes lying. When you understand what lying is you can begin to build a solid foundation for being honest in all circumstances. When you understand what lies are, you have the ability to be honest in your dealings with others without being accused of lying.
You must also understand that being honest means being completely truthful. There is a big difference between telling the truth and hiding the truth. When you work with others, you will find that being honest will get you what you desire from the relationship and from life in general.
Honesty shows respect for yourself, your partner, and those you deal with. Honesty also demonstrates confidence and peace of mind. Peace of mind comes from knowing that you can count on the people you trust to live up to their own standards. Your integrity is your bond to these people and keeping this bond strong requires that you exhibit honesty in all areas of your dealings.
People who are dishonest often cannot maintain their image of themselves. When you are dishonest in thought and in deed your image suffers. Therefore, the best policy refers to working on being honest in all situations.
It is never advisable to put yourself in a situation where you must be truthful to earn the respect of others or of yourself. If someone is asking you critical questions such as how do you manage your finances, then the best policy is to tell the truth. Even if you are honest in your dealings with others the damage that lies can do to you cannot be unseen. Honesty is the best policy because it can go a long way to helping you build trust in all relationships. Trust is the cornerstone for building a trusting relationship with those you deal with.
The best policy to live by is honesty because it helps us build trust and honesty helps us avoid the need to lie in all circumstances. When we are honest in our dealings with others we avoid situations that require us to lie. This helps us build trust in all aspects of our lives and enables us to make the best decisions for ourselves and for those that we care about.

From my own perspective is good to live a life of policy and also be principled in your actions and the way you do things.Honest for me is the way of life.pls i encourage everyone to show the spirit of honesty in everything they do.
You actually made a good point, but I want to say something to it, policy means a guideline in which someone always follow to do a particular thing in his day to day activities, while honesty can be attributed to integrity something that someone is known for, living a life of policy it's a way forward but I think is different from being honest my reason for saying this is that honesty comes from someone's mind and nature, not everyone has the will to be honest, honesty can be attributed to integrity mostly in business ,most businessman and business women lie just to make ends leaving I mean to sell their goods it doesn't mean that they don't have policy, but they do.
Good one mate and I want to say this is just one of the most important part of life and to me too I want to say it as a way of making us becomes a better person in lifet me say this too, that life on it own is very complicated and we as human will.justnhave to understand that we get only get the best out of life when we decided to keep our integrity and honestly intact and I want to say the best way to do this is by understanding the power in having integrity and what it takes to speak the truth too mate and I will sincerely obliged to your take on this issue mate.
Definitely as said above by you that honestly goes beyond saying the truth and I sincerely agreed with you ,cause it is another way of being true to yourself and it will makes you feel at peace at all time,one of my famous word say ,that when you tell the truth often,you won't have to memories what you are saying often and often again ,a part of it will have be in you cause what you are saying is the truth and that is why it is very important that will maintain that part of us that deals with saying the very true at all cost .
Definitely and I wi say that an honest person will always have the courage to come out well I'm everything they do and it will show that saying the truth is more reliable than spreading lies that can put a bad ink on our image.
I have once said that the truth on it own is a very good attribute and irrespective of what life is giving us all we must learn to adapt to the happening of life and of all we must be very honest with whatever that will be coming out of our mouth and that is why I so much believe that saying the truth in all will do is a very good trait and I so much belated and agreed that it is one thing that as human will should always be very consistent about ,I also believe that the truth on it own as a way of making us very useful in the society,cause I really see that saying the truth as a way of keeping People integrity intact and I want to say that it is the best life policy that we should all embedded in ourselves
