To Thyne Own Self Be True

Her belief is that during the short period of time that we are on earth we should do our best to be as good as possible and by being honest shows goodness.

Ex.1 : Judith is a dancer and in the studio she tries to be completely honest with herself and tells her and her students her honest opinions to better herself and others.

Ex.2 : A true performance (while dancing) involves showing your emotions and your personal journey. Judith realizes that you have to be honest with your emotions otherwise the dance cannot be as good as it can be.

Favorite Passage: It's about reaching for perfection, and, most of all, it's about honesty. I like this passage because being true to yourself creates a feeling of perfection because you can only be as good as you can when you strive for complete truth in yourself.
