Creating the Habit of Listening to the Truth-Teller (instead of the Liar!)

If I'm being honest, this is a constant battle for me.

Stephen Pressfield in his book The War of Art called it "Resistance". I call it "The Liar".

The moment you start moving forward. The moment you start taking that chance. The moment you put yourself out there, the Liar is going to try and stop you. The Liar is going to try and convince you that you don't have what it takes.

I know from experience! As I move towards seeing my new book release where I'm going after the 25 Lies holding us back, I'm still battling the Liar's voice that's trying to keep me stuck in fear and insecurity.

What is the Liar and how do we stop it?

That's what I'm discussing in today's new podcast episode. Plus, the power and practice of listening to the Truth-Teller instead.   

As I write in 25 Lies Twentysomethings Need to Stop Believing: 

"The Liar doesn’t want you to do important work. That’s when its voice gets the strongest. Why? Because the Liar doesn’t want you to risk. The Liar is that “friend” who’s always telling you “That won’t work,” trying to project their own fear on you like you’re a drive-in movie theater screen.

Well, if we’re going to tackle lies, if we’re going to set ourselves up to succeed, build, and create, we first have to tackle the Liar. Because the Liar’s one goal is to make you believe that you don’t have what it takes."

How many amazing dreams were "never was" because the Liar took that person out before they could really even start.

If we're going to stop believing the lies, we have to stop listening to the Liar. Let's listen to the life and hope the Truth-Teller is trying to tell us instead.
