Don’t believe all the stories you tell yourself

Since most major issues begin with an unwillingness to say the truth or an unwillingness to hear it, how do you minimize exposure to this risk?

Self-awareness. Nothing derails people and situations faster than lack of self-awareness. Weaknesses become intolerable. Strengths become irrelevant. Relationships strain to the breaking point.

It’s so easy to get caught up in the stories you tell to yourself about yourself. Ego, arrogance, anxiety, fear, and self-doubt all stem from stories without self-awareness.

Do anything and everything in your power to drive a searing level of self-awareness into your life. Not self-criticism. Not self-importance. Self-awareness.

Do the work.
