Being truthful with others + living an authentic life = honesty

Honesty fosters a healthy physical, emotional, and spiritual life, and it is a significant factor affecting the success we experience in our careers and in our relationships.  Being honest allows us to face life with courage and confidence, and it improves our self-respect.  It is a keystone of a successful and satisfying life.

Honesty is more than not lying.  It is truth telling, truth speaking, truth living, and truth loving.” (James E. Faust)
