Making Things Happen

Compulsive liars bend the truth about everything large or small. For a compulsive liar telling the truth is very awkward and uncomfortable while lying feels right. Unlike sociopaths, they are not overly manipulative and cunning, rather they simply lie out of habit. Compulsive lying is usually thought to develop in early childhood, due to being placed in an environment where lying was necessary .

But how do compulsive liars get so good at telling lies? You may think that it's the frequency with which they practice lying, but there is far more to it than that. The best liars actually learn to believe what they are saying. Sometimes, they believe their lies so well that they actually come true.

And even though this may be a negative demonstration of a positive principle, it applies to something that we might sometimes want or even need.

You see sometimes we need to delude ourselves, to pull the wool over our own eyes.
If we believe that something we want - even if it seems outlandish - is definitely possible, and if we talk about it that way and think about it that way, we will be able to make it happen eventually.
