It is a poor idea to lie to yourself


Source: www.tylershields.com

One of the things that separates us from having what we want is that we blatantly lie to ourselves. We lie about our priorities and abilities. We lie to ourselves about how a situation is, plus it kills time.

Lying to ourselves is an excuse for not taking action. We find excuses such as “I don’t have the time to” If we “don’t have the time”, let’s ask ourselves: Do you watch TV? Do you oversleep? Do you spend more time on your phone? Do you procrastinate? If you answered yes to most of the questions ten you can make time to learn and do more empowering activities such as school, gym, travel, start a business etc.

If we were to stop lying to ourselves, we would have to take action to change things. Look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself “what am I doing with my time that does not have long term value?” everything you do not have in your life is due to coming up with excuses and lying to yourself.
