You're listening to The Game Changer Life with Dave Anderson, the show about how to thrive, take charge of your mindset, and be unstoppable in business and all

aspects of your life. This is the Game Change Your Life podcast with Dave Anderson.

Welcome to the Game Change Your Life. I'm Dave Anderson. In this episode, I want to talk about

four fixes for self-deception, you know, living in denial, failing to face reality. You just can't

progress in anything if you don't understand what's really holding you back or what adjustments

that you need to make. And, you know, to live the game change your life, you've got to cast off

this pretense of self-deception. You've got to see yourself as you really are. The problem is that

the ingenuity of self-deception is limitless. Plato said it's the worst of all deceptions.

He said the worst of all deceptions is self-deception.

You see, here's the problem. It'll snuff out growth. It can destroy relationships. It can cause

eventual self-destruction because you're on the wrong path. You won't even recognize it.

And even those who acknowledge their shortcomings, you know, they often minimize them and

their impact. And thus, they allow self-deception to silently

destroy their futures.

I mean, even people who do face what's holding them back usually minimize it.

And they're still deceiving themselves.

They're minimizing the offense.

They're minimizing the impact that's having on them and others, and they still silently destroy themselves.

Nobody does them in. They just kind of blow themselves up. They self-destruct. So in this program,

we're going to go over a few things, four mainly, four signs, four blind spots, and four fixes.

Four self-deception. You know, part of the game changer life, as I talk about in my book Unstoppable,

is getting to that game changer status.
