It is poor to lie to yourself

Who all remembers Pinnochio? If you do, you will remember that Pinnochio was a lier, and everybody knew it because his nose grew longer everytime he lied.

Although Pinnochio is just a story and your nose won't really grow longer if you lie, the story taught us a good

lesson; If you lie you will be caught out and not be able to be what you really want to be.

I thought a bit about the consequences of lieing to yourself. Some examples and consequences are:

1. You take away opportunities to learn from experencies. For example if you play a game and you cheat, you take away an opportunity to learn because you don't know how to do it right.

2. You fool yourself and make everything worse. An example; you tell everyone and yourself you are ok when you lost a loved one, but you don't deal with the situation and take longer to mourn and heal.

3. You tamper with your own future and success, because you tell yourself you cannot do something and you believe yourself, but you are lieing to yourself, or you did something wrong at work, but only you know about it and you tell yourself it didn't happen. I have learnt that the truth will always come out and then it might have bad consequences because you didn't tell the truth.

I honestly think it is poor to lie to yourself because you know yourself best and would like to trust yourself and not disappoint yourself, so at least tell yourself the truth and telling other people the truth will follow.

Set yourself free, and live the life you really want to life.
