Mental Strength Tip #68 – Honesty And Personal Success
Welcome back to another Mental Strength Tip!
Achieving personal success and reaching your personal goals begins with a mental strength mindset of empowering beliefs.
Reaching your personal goals and personal success starts in your mind…and finishes with taking inspired and massive action.
This is one in a series of virtual success coaching and mental strength tips to help kick-start your week. It is intended to enthuse and inspire you to take action so that you can reach your personal goals and personal success.
I take one mental strength tips and run though a brief overview of it, then ask some very direct success coaching questions. The intention of this virtual success coaching session is for you to write and answer these questions in your success journal and then reflect on them to gain insight on yourself, your dreams and what’s holding you back.
These series of posts are for YOU! If I’m not able to success coach you personally one-on-one over the phone or in The Warriors Quest, I want you to at least get the benefit of a virtual mental strength and success coaching session.
Enjoy!
Objective of this Mental Strength Tip:
To serve as a reminder that honesty is the most intelligent mental strength strategy for achieving personal goals, personal success, fulfillment and happiness.
Let’s Get Started:
Many fear based individuals believe in honesty, yet think its OK to “less than honest” in their business life. They believe to “win at all costs”, which includes tell inaccurate information, not giving all the information or telling a “white lie.” All of these actions are products of weak and fearful thinking and do not lead to lasting personal success.
Questions to Uncover Beliefs about Mental Strength Thinking:
- What does honesty mean to you?
- Is what you were taught as a child about honesty congruent with what you believe now? How have your beliefs changed?
- Do you believe most successful people are honest?
Unsupportive Beliefs about Honesty
- You can’t be successful and honest
- If I’m honest, people won’t like me
- You can’t be honest in business today and be successful
Mental Strength Beliefs about Honesty
- The only path to lasting personal success is honesty
- Dishonesty erodes the richness and satisfaction of achieving personal goals and personal success
- Honest feels good
Outrageous Questions:
- How honest are you….really?
- Is dishonesty ever justified?
- Would being more honest help or hurt you?
Reflective Questions:
- Who is the most honest person you know?
- What area of your life would you like to be more honest?
- What would you have to change and think to become more honest?
Mental Strength Coaching:
There is more to coaching honesty then meets the eye. Most people agree honesty is important and claim to be honest in their life.
However, with probing self-questioning, and the help of a good coach, more will be reviled.
Most people have conflicting beliefs about honesty that are rooted in fear. They believe if they are more honest in certain areas of their life it would hurt them.
Investigating your beliefs and values in relation to honesty will give you great insight in how you are “wired.”
