Honesty, one’s commitment to reality, is a powerful antidote to neurosis, and anxiety. Integrity, one’s commitment to rational principles, is a powerful antidote to low self esteem, as is productivity, the creation of value. Understanding what you are and what your relationship to the world is… indeed what the world is….can help you contextualize expectations so they are at once aspirational, and realistic. A firm anchor in reality IS the base of mental health.
