Lies Revisited: Answering a Listener Question

Today I’m revisiting an episode that I did back in September where I talked about the lies, we tell
ourselves. You can listen to the episode here.


Don’t want to listen and just want to know the gist of it? Sometimes we don’t take credit for our work because we’re afraid of being view as arrogant. To combat, remember that arrogant people don’t worry about whether they’re arrogant and they don’t mind winning at the cost of other people. That’s likely not you.

Sometimes we don’t share our great accomplishments because we’re worried other people will think we’re arrogant. To combat this ask yourself this question “Can I control what other people think?” The answer is no you can’t.

You can only control yourself and your thoughts. Would you rather feel proud of your
accomplishments or worried about what everyone else thinks? The choice is yours.
