It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

Looking at this title you might think, “how can I lie to myself?” but we actually do it all the time. How many times haven’t you weighed yourself and thought, “my weight is not actually that high, it is because I just ate or it is just because of this or that”. We even lie to ourselves about obvious things, attempting to make justifications for things just to make ourselves think that everything is alright.

That is a terrible idea! You will not gain from it, you will most probably lose. When we lie to ourselves we take actions according to what we want to believe is true rather than what really is true and that is a recipe for failure. When lying to ourselves we complicate life, we create drama where it is not necessary and we give our attention to the wrong things.

Lying to yourself will make you feel better for that tiny moment but when you decide to open your eyes it might just be too late. Hence, be truthful to yourself - it will make you a more confident person and the things that bother you can be resolved quickly and easily.
