The truth we often tell ourselves isn’t always the truth — it’s the story we’ve repeated so many times that it starts to sound like one. Somewhere along the way, we begin to internalize the pain, the failures, and the disappointments, and we turn them into a narrative about who we are. We say things like “I’m not enough,” “I always mess things up,” or “That’s just the way I am,” without realizing that these phrases are not facts — they’re beliefs born out of repetition.
The danger is that what we tell ourselves over and over becomes our reality. The more we reinforce a false narrative, the deeper it roots itself in our identity, quietly shaping the choices we make and the life we live. But here’s the truth beneath the lie — we are not the story we’ve been telling ourselves. We are the authors, and at any moment, we can edit the script.
Growth begins when we question the narrative, when we ask, “Who told me this was true?” and have the courage to rewrite it. Because the greatest transformation happens when we stop believing the lies we’ve lived with and start living the truth we were created for.
