Are You Just Plain Lying To Yourself?


Today...I've done something that I have only done once in the last year.

And that time was last week!

I cooked dinner (fanfare!)

Now...for a man like myself that is no mean achievement!

Me and kitchens don't mix! I have never had the inclination...nor the need to actually cook anything much before.

Sure...I have cooked many 'prepared' meals (thank God for the microwave!)...but I don't really 'do' proper meals.

But...I did a dinner for my tenth anniversary last week...and I realized that it wasn't that difficult.

What made it difficult was the way that I thought about it!

I purposely made myself get worried about how I would do this...how I would time that etc etc etc.

But...once I did it once without any problems (and some success, I might add!)...I realized that my mind was positioning me to fail when it fact it was probably easier for me to succeed!

And...that's the problem with most things that we are not too sure about.

We make it difficult for ourselves because we are just plain LYING to ourselves because, because, because...

So...next time that you know that you can't do something...just give some consideration to the fact that you probably just THINK that you WON'T!
