Episode 73: Lies and Misdirection

How often have we said one thing, and when the moment came, we did another? After the moment passes, we are left with frustration, anger, and regret. If we take the time to reflect deeply, we see that we are the primary cause of our self-inflicted misery. How often do we lie to ourselves? Are we at a point where the pattern of self-betrayal is obvious? Our own ego’s using every insecurity and misstep against us in a repeating loop. Relentlessly trying to keep us under its control, in the illusion that we are it. Do you notice that you use misdirection when you know accountability is nearing? Accountability is the ego’s kryptonite; it’s a tell, letting us know we are operating from ego. We feel the need to defend and explain. Lies and misdirection are part of being human; it’s on us to recognize this within ourselves first and choose courage and authenticity. Having the ability to recognize unhealed moments and issues within ourselves grants us the vision to see these in others; energy, body language, tone, etc., are key markers.
