A short motivational YouTube clip by Donald Burns arguing that the most harmful lies are the excuses people tell themselves. Burns names common self-justifications ("not the right time", "I'll do it later", "I'm doing everything I can") and issues a direct call to stop self-deception, get real, and produce results.
The biggest lies are the ones we tell ourselves. Those excuses, those stories that you spin in your head just to justify staying stuck. It's not the right time. I'll make changes when things calm down. You know, Donald, I'm doing everything I can. The most dangerous lies aren't the ones you tell other people. They're the ones that you repeat to yourself day in and day out, keeping you locked in mediocrity. So what's it gonna be? It's time to stop lying to yourself and start getting real and start getting results.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
