The truth doesn’t always set you free.

There are certain true beliefs that are very empowering. But sometimes the truth is actually very disempowering.

“It all works out in the end.” – A great belief, but it’s totally false.

It doesn’t always work out, but it’s a good way to think of things that keeps you moving forward.

“There’s always a silver lining.” – Many times there are, but not always.

Sometimes there is a silver lining, and sometimes the downside far outweighs that silver lining “benefit.”

The one thing that’s better than a silver lining, is not making bad decisions in the first place that makes you have to find a bit of goodness embedded in it.

Inaccurate beliefs are helpful to keep you progressing without giving up.

“Life is short.” – A true belief that sounds bad but helps get you moving before it’s too late.

Finding a silver lining sounds like a “good” belief, however sometimes having a good belief such as that can be terrible for you if it allows you to accept a snail’s pace of progress.
