Let's be honest... More difficult than it sounds...?
What is a model for radical honesty, and how can we communicate it in a way that others understand both our actions and their role in them?
Consider a quadrant with "benefit to self" and "benefit to others" as its cornerstones. The opposite side consists of losses to oneself and others. Examining this model, what benefits come from being truth seeking?
People tend to value honesty; they want to be honest themselves but are sometimes afraid due to fear of judgment or discomfort. I've found that people may perceive me as harsh or uncaring because of it sometimes, but it's actually the opposite: I try to be honest because I care deeply.
I prefer not creating elaborate stories or excuses; instead, cutting out these falsehoods can be liberating. However, achieving this liberation isn't easy if you're trapped by your own fears or insecurities. Cutting Assessments of one's reasons for avoiding certain tasks might reveal some uncomfortable home truths - prompting personal growth.
Though simple in concept, practicing radical accuracy is simple but not easy; yet 90% of the time it works well since my goal is authenticity rather than superficial niceness.
Accurate Honesty ultimately is an act of kindness.
However, context matters - who you're speaking with impacts how your message is received...
It starts with a simple model, that can be simulated and tested. If it's an effective model thats aiming in the right direction you will get more granularity of understanding. The more granular it becomes the easier it will be to help others do the same...
If the aim is truth, accuracy, being aligned with reality, then you cannot be nothing but uncompromising. Helping others do the same is where the creativity & artistry goes to another level...
