Denial is the first step of failure.
You read all kinds of quotes about "denial" and how it is bad for you. I agree.
One way denial can hurt you is it brings you closer to failure. When you deny your own responsibility in your mistakes, you fail to learn the lesson. When you deny you made a mistake in the first place, you deny yourself growth and change. When you deny you need to change, you are getting ready to settle in a hole and wait for misery to be dumped on you.
Denial has its perks which makes it very popular with lazy people. When you deny, you are putting the blame on someone else and so you win the blame game. When you deny, you don't have to change or do anything different and that makes life easier.
Oh the luxury to have to no accountability and responsibility towards yourself and others is so precious. Sometimes, we go the extra mile to obtain that luxury.
Imagine how privileged it sounds when we issue the verdict that someone else was at fault and now has to pay the price and acquit ourselves from any guilty feelings and hard work. That is denial at its best. The temporary reward of denial is luring, to feel no guilt, to not be disappointed, to face no consequences. Denial is like paparazzi with TMZ, a cheap shot.
During this whole time, your conscious is waiting for jitters of fake victory to subside so it can give you "the look". The look that means "are you done kidding yourself?". If yourconscious is severely damaged, comatose or dead, your fake victory will last much longer, and will turn into chronic self-righteousness. Win for you.
If yourconscious is still alive and functioning, then denial can only go so far with you. You eventually will have to face the reality. This reality will require you to accept responsibility, face disappointment, suffer criticism, make amendments and change. All of this is hard work and sometimes they contradict our perceptions and beliefs about ourselves. If you think I am on to something, you are right.
I am using reverse psychology as a means of motivation for you to ditch denial and embrace your mistakes and your responsibilities, and to improve yourself. We all know reverse psychology, we have been subjected to it by our parents at one point or another in our lives. Honestly, it works more often that we like to admit.
The bottom line is that denial will lead to failure. If you want to succeed in life, don't deny yourself growth and change, don't deny your flaws, don't deny your own role in your destiny. Embrace it. Embrace your strengths and weaknesses, embrace hard work and embrace your free will in designing your life.
