Truth-Teller Tuesday: The Lies We Tell Ourselves (and How to Stop)

“The first principle is that you must not fool yourself—and you are the easiest person to fool.” —Richard Feynman

On this Truth-Teller Tuesday, we’re stepping into the kind of honesty most people avoid—the honesty we owe ourselves. Yesterday, we talked about generating motivation even when we’re not feeling it. But sometimes, what holds us back isn’t energy—it’s a story. A falsehood we’ve repeated so many times, we don’t even notice it’s running the show. Today, we’re challenging those internal narratives—the quiet lies we tell ourselves that excuse inaction, shrink our ambition, or protect us from failure. Because truth, even when it’s uncomfortable, is the launchpad for real growth.

This episode isn’t about confronting others—it’s about confronting ourselves. The deeper truths about what we want, why we haven’t gone after it, and what it’ll take to move forward. If you’ve been feeling stuck, today might be the day you realize it’s not laziness—it’s misalignment. Not procrastination—it’s protection. And it all starts with telling the truth.
