Summary

What if the biggest thing holding you back isn’t a lack of talent, luck, or resources—but the lies you’ve been telling yourself? In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, I break down the five most common lies that almost everyone believes at some point: the ones that sound practical, even logical, but actually drain your potential and keep you stuck at ground level. These lies show up in phrases like, “I’ll do it later,” or “I’m just not ready yet.” They disguise themselves as truth, but...

So in this episode, I'm going to expose the five biggest lies that almost everyone normalizes.

0:06.9

And once you recognize them, it's going to be harder and harder for you to believe these lies ever again.

0:13.2

What if I told you that the reason you're not as far along as you would like to be in life has nothing to do with talent, luck, or even resources. But instead,

0:23.5

it comes down to just a handful of lies that you've been quietly telling yourself. Now, here's the

0:30.6

catch. These lies feel so reasonable, so logical that you probably wouldn't even think to question them. In other words,

0:39.1

they sound like the truth. And for people who are operating mostly from that ground level

0:44.5

we want to be better at seeing these lies for what they truly are. Because when you zoom out

1:03.1

to that higher 30,000 foot perspective, you realize that these are not truths at all. These are

1:10.1

delay tactics. They're clever and little stories that we use not truths at all. These are delay tactics. They're clever little stories

1:12.9

that we use to buy ourselves time, to avoid discomfort, and to keep us from showing up fully

1:19.6

to our unique path and purpose. And I know these lies intimately because I've told them

1:25.5

to myself plenty of times. I've used each one of them to justify

1:29.7

putting things off and to convince myself that I was being practical and to soften the sting of not

1:36.0

following through. And for a while, I believe them. But here's the thing. The more we repeat

1:42.8

these stories, the more quietly they drain our potential.

1:47.1

And the next thing you know, we look up and we don't feel like we're on our path or purpose at all.

1:51.8

Because those lies have kept us stuck at the ground level view of life where everything feels limited and black and white and we're in this competition with everybody

2:02.9

else and it's either good or it's bad when what we really want is we want to operate more

2:09.2

from that spiritual perspective where we can see the bigger patterns and where our true
