Few learnings from a chapter of 12 rules of life

Hello everyone,
Today I am sharing a few learnings from the book 12 Rules of life by Jordan B Peterson.

Just to set the premise, overall it is about speaking the truth and what consequences or repercussions we face if we lie on the personal value system and also on life.

So we are faced with many situations in day-to-day life and there are two ways either taking the easy way out or telling the truth, now it's merely a situation and eventually, it compounds and becomes a pathway through life.

When one lies, he knows it. Whether he blinds himself to the consequences or even forgets that he lied. But at that moment, he knew what he did was wrong, and eventually this compounds. And Self-esteem is basically one's reputation with himself, therefore eventually self-esteem decreases. And it weakens his character. When the hard phase comes in life, it takes down the person with a weak character and he/she start doing wrong things.

Some people don't lie but avoid saying the truth and most people feel it is okay but....
When you can not confront others, you won't be able to confront yourself and this doesn't only mean that it will suppress who you are but also means that what you could be won't be forced by necessity to come forward.

And moreover, this is true from a neuroscientific perspective too, I heard it on some podcast earlier. When you say the truth you explore new information and we have neuroplastic minds therefore eventually this information creates new neurons in our brain. Basically, your develops and eventually, you have information of more things, therefore, more opportunities and eventually, you could become more successful.

And something related to that, according to neuroscience anything works in this sense more you explore one field like cooking, singing, dancing, etc more neuron connections are formed therefore you eventually become better in that particular thing. Habits are also formed by this mechanism.
