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.

How You Spend Your Time Is How You Spend Your Life

Think about the people you spend most of your time with and whether they may be helping or hindering your attempts at personal change.’– Dr Christian Jarrett

When it comes to your life, how you spend your time matters. Do not spend your time with people who are not going anywhere.

If you can’t get anything done, then check how you are spending your time. It matters. Time is everything. Time is money. Time is health. Time is wealth. Do not waste it on anything that is not getting you closer to your goals.

If you are not helping yourself, then you are hurting yourself. If you don’t spend your time well, if you are always around the wrong people, then you are hurting yourself. You are hurting your growth. And you are hurting your life.

If you are spending your time well, if you are always around positive people, people who are going places, then you are spending your time really well. You are helping yourself. Do not waste your time. Use your time. Because time is life.

How you spend your time is how you spend your life. If you don’t want to waste your life, you must take care of your time.
