Simple Rule # 1 Honest

Be honest in your relationships and interactions.

Honest means genuine, truthful, and not deceptive. When you choose to be honest in relationships and interactions, you let others get to know the real you—your authentic and sincere self. When you’re honest in relationships, you communicate a true desire to know another person and a willingness to let them know you. At the same time, being honest doesn’t mean telling everything about yourself. Sometimes we keep things to ourselves to preserve boundaries or to avoid causing hurt or embarrassment to another person.
