There are so much problems in our lives. We try to do something and it doesn’t go our way. We do something but we just keep on failing. it doesn’t make sense sometimes.
Why doesn’t anything go our way?
Hm..what if it’s not supposed to? And things are actually not supposed to work out in our favor?
This is just one small type of misunderstanding we have in our approach in life. We are actually supposed to work hard to go towards a goal, and it’s hardly easy.
I write this to point out this mental trick we play on ourselves in order to protect ourselves. Self-Protection & Deception. It sounds harsh, but it is choosing to believe in a different reality than the one you are really living in.
Trying to really believe that the sky is red doesn’t make it actually red. At the same time, believing that we’re talented & successful when we’re not, doesn’t help me, you, or anyone. The change for growth starts when you first accept the truth about who you are.
Can You Actually Be Deceiving Yourself?
