The damaging lies we tell ourselves

Mark Twain said, “If you tell the truth, you don’t have to remember anything.” Just like fears, lies can deter our journey to career success. Growing up, we were always taught to tell the truth.

Why? Friendships, business deals need to be authentic. For meaningful relations to survive, they need to be founded on truth. The opposite is true. Everything about lies is temporary. Sometimes we deceive ourselves to cover up flaws or to buy ourselves some time. We are guilty of telling lies at some point at work, to ourselves and to others.
