Lying to yourself
The person the most affected by our lies are ourselves. And the smarter we are, the easier it is to lie to ourself. Because we’re smart we can come up with many excuses. And tell many fascinating stories. Stories we want to believe in.
And some of those stories can help achieve us great results. But what happens when the pretty story faces the reality.
Now it’s a clash of wills: are you strong enough to bend reality to your story. Or will your story crash against the concrete of reality.
Be honest with yourself. And it will help you to bend the reality.
