Being an honest person is one of the best qualities someone can have. As I got to know more about Warrior’s character and who he really was, honesty seemed to be at his very soul. It became a virtue that was very admirable and yet so frowned upon. I like to think of myself as a pretty honest person and remember getting that pit in my stomach when telling a lie. 😯
Lots of people have said Warrior was honest to a fault– his best quality and yet his worst at times. I understand what this means. Don’t we all wish we could be 100% honest with everyone all the time? Can you just imagine how different this world would be? Most of us would hate it. Nobody likes to be criticized or risk the possibility of negative comments, we all want and need the good.
To be true with your own convictions and morals takes so much of your heart and mind. Sometimes it makes you feel isolated and distant with people, especially those you thought were your friends that had your back.
I can so totally relate in a way with how Warrior felt at times. I have lost friendships because of my morals and it is so unfortunate. I know how it feels to have people sell you out or end a relationship all because I didn’t do what they wanted. To stand by your own true self despite fall out or consequences takes guts and determination. I never had to go through what he did but on some level, I don’t cave either when it is something I firmly believe in.
My children know this about me with little things. As they grow, it will become more and more important with peer pressure, society, and age. They also know I can’t tolerate lying– it is the worst attribute you can have. Yes, we all have told white lies on occasion but when it involves your principles or beliefs, you stand your ground always.
As a parent, that is our duty to instill values in them that will last a lifetime. If Warrior has taught me anything and there are many things but we need to value honesty and know its purpose. Sometimes it is such a difficult task but as a warrior, it is a must in my life. 😬👏🏻💖

Yes!🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 One thing I am learning with my program is honesty and it is so freeing at times. To know I’m not hiding anything and not having anxiety because I knew I was lying is such a good feeling.
