The Lies We Tell

The person we lie to the most, by far, is ourself. These lies come in all forms. Lies about ourselves, lies about others, lies about the past, future or present. Learning to be honest with ourselves is one of the harder yet most  important things to do.

Some lies we tell ourselves may include:

- I don't have time for...
- I can't do...
- I really tried to understand that/them...
- This is important...
- I don't have a problem with...
- I'm happy with...

We often outright deny facts to ourselves.

- This is good for me...
- This is bad for me...
- This will turn out good...
- This won't hurt me...

Self awareness and honesty to ourselves is so critically important to being healthy and developing  healthy. We cannot work hard enough on these things.

If we would just stop telling lies to ourselves, it would open up so much room for improvement.

When we lie to ourselves we are crippling our potential and development.
