It is a poor idea to lie to yourself

Convincing yourself of the truth while you hold complete control of your own thoughts is like going to a battle but knowing exactly when and how the enemy will attack. Of course you hold the advantage of how you will normally react to a situation and in yourself you win the battle of changing your way of thought and convincing yourself to react differently.

Our minds are trained to know the odds of right and wrong and while we could sometimes mislead our 6^th sense, we can in fact mislead ourselves too. Lying to oneself will disrupt a balance – addiction is a great example where we know we have gone too far. So many people often find themselves caught in the lies to a point that their mind becomes the enemy. The mind is then controlling their thoughts as if the battle has been won and the normal way of thinking no longer exists.

Does constant wrong doings not convince the mind that the wrong way is actually the right way and the right are then wrong?  Small lies carry many more lies to follow. Lies will shape the new thoughts and actions, of which the old will in fact become the lie. So it really does not seem like such a good idea to lie to yourself.
