Self Deception

It’s very easy to pull the wool over your own eyes.  We all want the best for ourselves and there are times when we all hate to be wrong about  something.

Don’t fall into the trap of refusing to let other people help you out.  Getting an objective opinion about yourself takes courage, but the feedback that you get is priceless.

I’m sure you’ve experienced someone that will ask for your opinion about what they are doing and then they argue your opinion about why
their way is great even though it isn’t working.

The fact is they didn’t really want your help… they just wanted your validation.  Don’t fall into this trap.

A lot of people can have a hard time letting go of what they were doing in order to try an alternative way.  It can be painful for them.

Searching for validation from others is like chasing your own tail.  It’s a never ending  chase because what you do will never be good enough for some.  Others will take advantage of your neediness and use you for their own selfish reasons.

Stop trying to please others, listen to constructive criticism and take action for yourself.
