Your triggered ego may have you denying this already. But if you want your beliefs to help you live a happier life, you must understand this.
Just like the protagonist in a movie, we run from our fate, making up any justification we can to avoid the truth. Things like:
But in movies, this justification lasts part of an hour, until revelation dawns on the hero.
Then they finally admit the truth, and become the hero they’re meant to be.
In real life we do the same thing, but for longer.
And it’s a tragedy, really.
Because…
This clinging to comfortable lies while avoiding challenging truths hurts us.
This choosing ‘yes-men’ and sycophants over life’s truth-telling teachers hurts us.
It prevents us from getting blessings, help, and empowerment, often from the only people courageous enough to tell us the truth.
You didn’t come to earth to believe lies that don’t help, serve, or uplift you.
Clinging to misbeliefs keeps you poor.
When you encounter a ‘hard truth’, instead of making excuses to keep you comfortable…
…you can just be open to it.
You can embrace it, dive into it, and experiment with it to see if it gets you better results than what you’ve believed in the past.
You don’t have to cling to misbeliefs.
You don’t have to be triggered whenever they’re confronted.
You don’t have to stay in a mental comfort zone.
