To assist me with achieving this life long goal I have commenced studying the Noble Paths of Buddha. I am trying to live by these every day, however each resinates the with my goal. I am trying to measure all of my actions by these strong ideals. Interestingly, they're not complicated or difficult. Their simplicity is perhaps the greatest element of them as they require on vital thing; Action from the one choosing to follow them. They are not an idea that one can simply park in the back of ones mind and hope to call on from time to time. The Noble Paths are something that can be practically embraced every moment of the day.

I'd love to be able to say that a 24 hour period has passed where I haven't been untruthful. Sadly, we all twist the truth to turn things in our own favour or to avoid conflict or painful situations. I've had a couple this week and I've failed this goal on occassion.

However, I do believe I am being more and more truthful overall as I try to follow the Noble Paths and cnosider the Three things i need to do to make this happen.
