This is a YouTube video titled "Affirmations Are Lies" containing a motivational or self-help talk delivered by a single speaker on August 7, 2025. The speaker discusses the concept of affirmations, challenging the notion that they are lies and explaining how negative self-beliefs influence actions and emotions.
And people think that affirmations are lies. Oh, so you want me to lie to myself and I would tell them no. No. You have been lying to yourself all along. You've been telling yourself you're not good enough. You've been telling yourself you're never going to find love. You've been telling yourself that you don't have what it takes. You've been telling yourself all these lies. People will validate that, and the external world will validate that, but it's not because it's true. It's because you have acted in ways that contributed to manifesting that those thoughts that were sentences became beliefs. And now you think it's true, so you act accordingly. Our actions are founded on our beliefs and our emotions.
