Do Not Deceive Yourself

‘Be honest with yourself about how far you are prepared to go in pursuit of personality change. It is better to be realistic than to harbor unrealistic expectations.”– Dr. Christian Jarrett

You can’t help yourself if you are not real to yourself. And no one can help you if you are not real to yourself.

You won’t grow if you are kidding yourself. Do not do that. It does not make things better. Instead, it makes things worse.

When you lie to yourself, you are not moving closer to yourself; you are moving away from yourself.

If you are not your true self, then how can you grow? You can’t. But you can change things. You can change the direction of your life. You do that by being honest with yourself.

Life is not fair, but do not lie to yourself. Do not deceive yourself. If you do, it means you are against your growth. It means you are not for yourself. And it means you do not love yourself. Why? Because if you love who you are, you will NEVER lie to yourself.

Follow your passion. Do what you can do. Do not take on more than you can handle. If you need help, then ask for help. That is how we grow.

Honesty brings growth. So if you want to grow, you must be honest with yourself.
