The Lies I tell Myself and Believe (After 7+ Decades)

I tell myself these lies over and over until I begin to believe them:

1. That’s a name I won’t forget.
2. I can easily lose those ten pounds.
3. I don’t need to write that down – I’ll remember.
4. I can still drive after four drinks.
5. I can quit smoking/drinking/eating/drugs anytime I want.
6. You still got it.
7. Yeah, she wants me.
8. My mind is as sharp as ever.
9. I’m a very tolerant and reasonable person.
10. There’s nothing wrong with my hearing – people mumble.
11. Yeah, I can still wear this old outfit.
12. I’m above average in intelligence.
13. I’m a “people person.”
14. I have a great sense of humor.
15. I’m “open-minded.”

What other lies do you relate to your ego? If you lie to yourself enough, you can lie to anyone.
