Start telling the truth now and never stop.
1) Begin by telling the truth to yourself about yourself.
2) Then tell the truth to yourself about someone else.
3) Then tell the truth about yourself to another.
4) Then tell the truth about another to that other.
5) Finally, tell the truth to everyone about everything.
These are the 5 levels of truth telling. This is the five-fold path to freedom...
...It is not nearly so important how well a message is received as how well it is sent. You cannot take responsibility for how well another accepts your truth; you can only ensure how well it is communicated. And by how well, I don't mean merely how clearly; I mean how lovingly, how compassionately, how sensitively, how courageously, and how completely.
― Neale Donald Walsch, Conversations With God: An Uncommon Dialogue, Vol. 2
Ah, but how does one get the courage to follow these steps?
