The Art Of Lying To Yourself
The secret tool for transforming your reality
Fake it until you make it.
Manifestation.
Positive affirmations.
Forget everything you know about these overused buzzwords. There’s a better way.
Like many, I struggled to grasp the true meaning of these concepts. I dove headfirst into self-help, sifting through endless books, podcasts, and motivational videos. At their core, they all preached the same gospel: arduous morning mantras and forced positive self-talk throughout the day.
It all felt meaningless, as if I was transforming into a robot, mindlessly performing tasks.
And for what?
For the longest time, I felt nothing, learned nothing, and began to suspect I’d wasted hundreds of hours on meaningless motivational content.
However, after an extended period of self-analysis, I began to make realisations; lightbulbs began lighting up.
What I found out in the end was that it all came down to one simple thing:
Lying to yourself.
It’s a weird phrase in and of itself. How can one ‘lie’ to themselves, knowing it’s a lie?
