The Great Deceiver

“Therefore do not deceive yourself! Of all deceivers fear most yourself!” ~ Søren Kierkegaard

I have been reflecting lately on how we deceive ourselves when we cannot face our fears. I have a couple of friends who talk in circles sometimes when I listen to them. It has made me aware of my own limitations in letting go of false hopes and unrealistic dreams.

I wish I were freer to walk away from those emotions that bind me to ungodly desires and knock me off the path I should be walking. I have to trust sometimes that I stay to learn a lesson or to help someone else move to a better place but I also need to learn when I have overstayed.

What do you need to free yourself of self-deception?

Peace,

Suzanne
