However, above all, you need to be honest with yourself. You’re probably reading this and thinking, “Well, I’m already honest.” But no, you’re not! Think about how you react when someone insults you. Think about what you do when your friends ask you to hang out, even when your schedule is packed. In the first case, you’re afraid to respond honestly by standing up for yourself and come up with a thousand excuses not to. In the second, you lack the honesty to tell them you’re busy!

A lack of self-honesty is the root cause of weakness in modern men. When you lie to someone’s face, you integrate dishonesty into your habits, which eventually leads you to lie blatantly even to the people closest to you.

Be honest with yourself and those around you!
