Perhaps the most tragic way that self-deception harms us is that we start believing our lies and we teach them to others

Copy Image

When what we say doesn't match how we act, we are lying to ourselves

Copy Image

When we aren't honest with ourselves about who we are and what we want, we allow other people and circumstance to determine our life course

Copy Image

The more we lie to ourselves about how we are contributing to our problems, the more harm we will cause to ourselves and our relationships because we will blame others for undesirable aspects of our lives instead of taking responsibility for our role

Copy Image

We lie to reflect the aspirational goals that we unconsciously know we will not uphold
