What clicked and made you have a different mindset? How long did it take to start changing and how long was the transformation? Did it last or is it an ongoing back and forth between your old self? I want to know your transformation and success.

Any kind of change, big or small. Anything from weight loss, world view, personality shift, major life change, single change like stopped smoking or drinking soda to starting exercising or going back to school. I want to hear how people’s life were a bit or a lot better through reading and your progress.

TIA 🙏

    “Lying” by Sam Harris made me commit to not ever lying again

    I have told one lie ever since and even that was a slip-up; a person came to me on the street asking for money and instead of saying no I said I didn’t have any cash which was untrue. I still keep secrets and I will lie if refusing to answer reveals the truth. I will still not tell the whole truth and sometimes I simply omit things I don’t want to reveal but what I don’t do is say things that are untrue and this applies to while lies aswell.

    Only after I started paying attention to this mysef I realized how often we lie unecessarily and how damaging it can be to our relationships even when your intentions may be good. You’re basically treating people as if they’re so vunerable that they can’t handle the truth so you lie.
