The Lie You Keep Calling “You”
You tell yourself:
- “I’ve always been like this.”
- “I’m not a morning person.”
- “I just hate conflict.”
- “I’ve never been good with money.”
- “I have a short fuse. That’s just me.”
But here’s the thing.
That’s not you.
That’s a habit.
That’s a comfort zone.
That’s a story you’ve told yourself so many times, it started sounding like fact.
You weren’t born with a temper.
You didn’t come out bad at communication.
You weren’t destined to be reactive, avoidant, disorganized, or stuck.
At some point, you stopped trying.
And then you started defending the version of you that felt easiest to live with.
Because growth is hard. Change is slow.
And saying, “That’s just how I am” is easier than admitting: “I could be better. I just haven’t done the work yet.”
The more you repeat it, the more real it feels. And that’s how you stay stuck, not because you can’t grow, but because you stopped believing you could.
So let me ask you: What part of you isn’t really you… just something you’ve gotten used to?
