Self-lies are the catalyst for self-sabotaging, self-defeating behavior and it happens every day to everyone at one point or another in our lives. The problem is that we don't recognize and therefore we can't fix what we won't face, hence the reason for this article.
Take a moment and think about lies that have affected your life. Whether it is a marriage, friendship, career situation, debt, or health issue, lies seem to touch everyone at some point in life. Statistics reveal that over 85% of individuals are miserable in their jobs, and this is proof that there is a lot of pretense in our lives.

I've managed to submit a short feel good article to my local paper, submit my essay to the Ladies Home Journal contest, put a few things on Ebay, and even mailed out a necklace I sold on Etsy.

I noticed where ever I sit the carpet is clean this because as my legs and feet move back and forth the dog hair and dirt in the carpet collects in small piles. I can just lean over and pick up the big clumps of hair and dirt and throw them away.
