“You may delay, but time will not.” — Benjamin Franklin

#4 Stop Lying to Yourself

It’s uncomfortable to admit, but one of the biggest things holding people back is self-dishonesty.
We tell ourselves stories like:

“I’m doing my best.”

“I don’t have time.”

“It’s too late for me.”

These little lies create comfortable excuses — but they slowly kill dreams.

Practical Action:

Every week, ask yourself honestly:

Where am I fooling myself?

What hard truth am I avoiding?

Facing reality — even when it stings — frees you to take real control of your life.

James Clear, author of Atomic Habits, said:
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

And honesty is the foundation of any system that actually works.

Example:

Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks, admitted early failures and weaknesses openly. Instead of blaming the economy or competitors, he asked the hard questions — and led Starbucks through major turnarounds.
