Oh, don’t pretend you don’t know what we’re talking about...You can’t fool us! There’s a lot of trickery going on all right, and unfortunately, we’re our own greatest jokester and the pranks are far less innocent because we’re playing with our lives. The deceit can take on many forms including blaming, avoiding and tolerating, and it seems to be motivated by a single emotion, and that emotion is fear.
Before you write off this post as just another April Fool’s joke, are you fooling yourself with any of these?
It’s not my fault: That may be true, but it’s not anyone else’s fault either. Aside from an act of God, we’re responsible for our personal circumstances.
Change is hard: Change is a choice. How easy or how hard it is depends on our perspective.
I can’t: How often have you uttered this untruth? Let’s get real here; it’s not that you can’t, it’s that you won’t.
It’s not really that important: Oh really? Well, if it’s not that important, why does your heart leap with joy when you think about it? Why have you been dreaming about it since childhood? Why does a life without it make your heart break?
It’s just how it is: It may be the current situation, but you have the power to take action and transform your reality into something better.
That’s selfish: It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about our energy, our time, or our money, if we’re depleted and running on fumes, we’re of little help to anyone. Want to be the best you for your spouse, your kids, and your workplace? It’s in everyone’s best interest to tend to your own needs first.
It’s time you start to see through the tricks you’re playing on yourself, step through the fear, and reserve those foolish antics for April Fool’s Day.
