About This Quote

Too often we hear the advice, “Tell yourself the stories you need to tell. But don't be fooled by them. Never live your own lies.” This is a good reminder to make sure we are telling ourselves the stories we need to hear rather than some that we want to hear. We can remind ourselves that some of our fears and insecurities are unfounded and not a reflection of who we really are.
