“The most common lies a man tells are to himself.” – Frederich Nietzsche
Do you ever think, about the way you think?
Hands down, we are our own harshest critic. Most of us would never, ever talk to another human being the way we talk to ourselves. Think about the doubts we’ve had recently, whether it be about ourselves, or other people.
This is not an attempt to say we are bad people for having those thoughts. They come. But the step that must take place in the middle, is awareness. To recognize these “lies” as Nietzsche puts it, so that we can put them into their place.
As we move through our day today, let’s think about the way we think.

“If life changes from the outside in, life ends. If life changes from the inside out, life begins.”
It’s been said before that external events don’t define us. We 100% believe in that. Going a bit further, we also believe that external events cannot create us.
Winning the CrossFit Games is something incredible. A monumental achievement. We won’t discredit that. But… does it change who are?
It can’t. It’s external. We aren’t a different human being the morning after. What can change us however, is the character we become. The beliefs we choose to hold. The standards we live up to.
A change on the inside reflects on the outside.
Never the other way around.

“The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a friendly or hostile universe.” – Albert Einstein
We don’t get what we want.
We get what we expect.
The world will treat us the way we expect to be treated. If we believe it’s “dog eat dog”, and “every man for himself”, then we are doomed to believe so. The lens we’ll see through will be of defensiveness, comparison, and general hostility… even when it’s not even there to begin with.
But the opposite can also be true.
Our expectations become our realities.
It’s not good enough to want it. We have to believe it.
