“ The truth is that pain is not inherently bad for us, pain is information. ”
One major cost of self-deception is that we use painful life experiences to justify being non-ideal versions of ourselves.
~ Cortney S. Warren
We would all benefit by shifting our focus from seeing pain as bad to seeing pain as motivation to change.
The truth is that our self-deceptive lies range from seemingly tiny untruths to massive life-altering falsehoods about reality.
I cannot overemphasize the impact our childhood has on our ability to be honest because we live out what we learned as children in our adult relationships.
