We lie to ourselves about the smallest details, and we lie to ourselves about our largest life choices.

When you are not aware that you are bringing old learning to your current relationships, you will want to lie about where it is coming from.

We lie to reflect the aspirational goals that we unconsciously know we will not uphold.

At the most basic level, self-deception is fooling ourselves into believing something that is false -- or -- not believing something that is true.

The truth is that our self-deceptive lies range from seemingly tiny untruths to massive life-altering falsehoods about reality.

When we aren't honest with ourselves about who we are and what we want, we allow other people and circumstance to determine our life course.
