“What is uttered from the heart alone, Will win the hearts of others to your own.”
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
William Shakespeare wrote “The good I stand on is my truth and honesty.” Thomas Jefferson called honesty “the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” John Lyly warned us that those who lose their honesty have nothing else to lose.

Through this practice of daily journaling you are acquainting yourself with your heart as you investigate what is important to you, and how those values drive your participation in the world. The more you become aware of this inner world, the easier it becomes to know your heart and express it.
