The Worst Lies Come From This Person

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]The biggest lies don't come from the government. The biggest lies don't come from the church. The biggest lies don't come from other people. In fact, the biggest lies that you will ever hear, they come from you, man. You right out of your own mind. You tell yourself more lies than anybody will ever tell you in your lifetime. And you do it daily.

[00:00:29]Now, what's this crazy fool talking about? Well, if you're new to my channel, let's just say in the last couple of years, I've made some discoveries about my life and I've changed a lot of things. And I guess people like hearing about it. You can go back a couple years in my videos and see I was a totally different guy. But I kind of like to share my viewpoints on, well, what do you got to do to have a happier life?

[00:00:59]And I guess the answer to that is quit lying to yourself. You see, we tell lies to oursel every single day.

[00:01:09]And the thing of it is we know we are lying. When we say these things in our mind, we know we're lying to oursel, but we still tell ourselves these lies. Let me give you some examples.

[00:01:23]You light up a cigarette.

[00:01:26]Well, you know automatically that it's bad for you.

[00:01:31]You know that you shouldn't be smoking.

[00:01:34]Yet, you do it anyway. And you tell yourself, "Next month, I'm going to quit. That's right. Next month, I'm going to quit. It's okay. Let's fire one up. And next month, I'll quit. Next month comes."

[00:01:48]You keep telling the lie over and over and over. Same goes for drinking. Same goes for overeating.

[00:01:56]just about anything that has a negative effect on your life.

[00:02:01]Well, you keep doing it because you're telling yourself these lies.

[00:02:07]Now, how do we know what's bad for us?

[00:02:09]How do I think somehow we just know? If you sit down and you cut you a slice of birthday cake and you eat it, there's really not much going on. But if you eat half of that cake, there's something in your mind that says, "Dude, you you're messing up, man." And you'll tell yourself a lie to justify eating half the cake. We do this with a lot of things. A lot of decisions we make are based on the lies that we tell oursel.

[00:02:41]Now, it's pretty simple. If if something has a negative effect on your life, whether it's your health, whether it's your relationships, whatever it is, if it has a negative effect, then you probably shouldn't be doing it, right? And so, for the last couple years myself, I've been trying to take a look at what negative things were in my life and eliminate them. Drinking was a big one. Uh what good does it do me? I ponder this. What what is what good is it doing me? It's not doing me any good. Every sip I took, I knew something was wrong. I knew it that it was a negative experience. Yes, it's enjoyable. Most negative experiences that we do in our life are enjoyable.

[00:03:30]Eating sweets, uh drinking alcohol, doing drugs, whatever it is, they make they give you a temporary feeling of enjoyment.

[00:03:41]And and notice that I said temporary because most all of these things are temporary. When you smoke a cigarette, you get that rush of nicotine and calmness. It feels good and you enjoy it. I I'm an ex-smoker. I enjoyed the hell out of smoking. It's a temporary situation and 20 minutes later you're lighting up another one because you want to return to that state of euphoria that that cigarette put you in which sets you up for a cycle, a lifetime cycle of repeating that. It never is permanent. Nothing that feels good is ever permanent.

[00:04:22]But I got to say, the changes that I've made in the last couple of years feel pretty damn good. And I don't have to smoke anything, eat anything, drink anything, or inject anything to get that feeling. It just comes when you're living the way we're supposed to live, which is without putting garbage in our bodies, without doing negative things. And this is what life's about, man. All these years I've wasted telling myself these lies. 58 years I wasted drinking, smoking, doing things I knew in my head were wrong, but I did them anyway.

[00:05:06]It's kind of like if your trash can in your kitchen is full and it's starting to stink. That happened to me the other day. Okay. I'm like, "What's that smell?" Well, I cook a lot of meat, so I got if I don't rinse off the wrappers or I don't rinse out a dog food can or something and put it in there, it doesn't take long. It's going to stink. And I smelled that and I'm like, man, that tra I got to take that trash out. Now, I could have done one or two things. I could have sat back down and dealt with the smell.

[00:05:38]That would have been a negative experience. Or I could have just tied it up right then, took it out. And that's what I did. I tied it up right then and took it out. If you're cooking and the stove catches on fire, you're not going to sit there and look at it for 15 minutes wondering what to do. You're going to immediately grab a fire extinguisher and you're going to put that fire out or otherwise your house is going to burn down. Yet, when we do things to our body, we don't think that way. You're going to sit and drink half a bottle of whiskey. You know it's bad, but you're doing it anyway. You're going to let your body burn down.

[00:06:16]We do this for many years and we know when we're doing them they're wrong, but yet we keep doing them because it's a pleasure. It's a pleasure until it isn't. And no pleasure lasts uh forever.

[00:06:31]It's either going to kill you or it's going to cause other problems that you don't want. And all I try to do is take a look at the things in my life that are negative experiences.

[00:06:44]There's still a lot of them. There's still a lot of things that I tell myself lies about, like projects. Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna get this finished. This is what we're going to do. We're going to finish this up right now. And and then and I don't do it. I'm telling myself a lie. I have good intentions that I'm going to finish this project, yet there I sit doing something else. These are things I'm still working on. It's a lifetime of work. But after a while, when you start to mold these habits in your life that you want to pick these off one at a time, you want to become a better person. You're going to start seeing your life change.

[00:07:25]Oh man, has my life changed in the last few years. I I look back at where I was just a couple of years ago. And if you don't believe me, go back a couple years of my videos. At least two and a half years. Go back. Look at me. I was drinking. Uh I was do I've been doing YouTube for almost six years uh full-time. So you can go back and see, hey man, this guy's not BSing me. He's actually changed his life. And so then I discovered making these videos just people were asking questions. What did you do, man? What you're different? What did you do? And that's what I'm trying to do. So, if you're new to the channel, you know, not all videos are like this, but this is what I try to do. Just share my my my knowledge of what I've done that works for me. And it may not work for you.

[00:08:17]A lot of people just don't have the willpower to stop doing what they're doing. And and it becomes especially hard if you have other people in your household that are doing the same things. If you have a group of liars, and I'm not calling your family liars.

[00:08:34]If everybody in your house is lying to themselves, that kind of gives it a an approval because you see that, well, they're doing this, too, and they're lying to themselves and well, it's okay for me to lie to myself. It's not. It's not. Now, personally, I don't care what anybody on this planet does. I'm only giving you my viewpoints on it. If you're interested in bettering yourself and feeling better, if you're interested in become a better person, if you're interested with in getting rid of the brain fog that comes along with aging. You don't have to have brain fog. I've lifted all these things. Now, I have separate videos on how I've done how I've lost weight. I've have separate videos on how I gave up tobacco. I still do Zen, okay? A nicotine pouch. It's something I am still working on. I am not standing here in front of this camera telling you I'm perfect because I'm far from it. But I'm aware. I am aware of all of these problems I have. And most of you, almost all of you are. If you are doing something that is wrong and you're not aware of it, there's something wrong with you. Maybe it's some kind of mental illness, but and this happens. People are doing things they know are they maybe they don't know that what they're doing is wrong. Maybe it's all they know, but there's something wrong.

[00:10:04]Because most of us anytime we do something that is wrong. There's a little little guy sitting on this shoulder that tells you yes, you know that's wrong, right? But you're going to do it anyway, ain't you? And then the other guy over here, you've seen him. Do it anyway. Do it anyway. Screw him.

[00:10:22]That's how it works in life. We go through our whole lives like that.

[00:10:29]But the rewards of when your life starts to get better, man, that makes up for the cigarette. That makes up for the drink of whiskey. That makes up for that big pie, the ho hos, the little Debbies.

[00:10:44]It makes up for all of that because more things come into your life that's positive. You start getting rid of the negative. The negative will always try to come into your life, but you learn how to deal with it better. An alarm goes off when something negative is about to happen or you're thinking of doing something negative. And we all have this alarm. It goes off and says, "Hey, uh, think about this. Do you want to do this?"

[00:11:13]There's many times over the last two years I Well, I wouldn't say a lot. I've learned how to control this urge, but I'll walk this. Just this morning, I was walking in the ice cream aisle and I'm looking at the chunky monkey down there and I'm go, wouldn't hurt me to have that little one, would it? Just get that little container. Wouldn't hurt me. I can only take a few bites and then I'll put it back and then a month later I'll take And then I caught myself and I said, "Boom, look ahead. Move on." These are the things you will learn. These are the things that become everyday thing. You you you can you learn to bypass the temptations.

[00:11:55]Our life on this planet is full of temptations. And I believe they're here for a reason. I believe we are supposed to be tempted because if you can resist temptation, then you will enjoy the rewards of a much better life. And for so many years, I gave into all the temptations.

[00:12:16]No matter what it was, I was up. Hey, I'm I'm playing. Okay, you going to play? I'm going to play. That's how I was for many years.

[00:12:27]But not anymore. Now, if I could just get in there and finish these projects, you know, maybe that's going to help me.

[00:12:35]That'd be one more thing to conquer. And I and I know that I will accomplish this. And you can't try to take on, excuse me, you can't try to take on too many things at once. Just take one of the things you know you're doing.

[00:12:51]Overeating, eating the wrong foods, smoking, whatever it is your vice is, try to knock that one thing out first.

[00:12:59]Get a few months down the road and say, "All right, man. What's next?" Check something else off the list. Do it slowly.

[00:13:07]Two years I've been doing this and man, it's like that. Two years is nothing. A lot of people say, "Man, it took them two years to stop doing all these things. Wow, two years is nothing." You know how fast a week goes by when once you hit over 50 or over 40? It goes by quick. Two years. I look back, I'm like, man, where'd all the where' the time go?

[00:13:30]It's quick. And here I am.

[00:13:33]So, I have a lot more videos on certain individual subjects. I have a 4-hour video on my carnivore. That's how I've lost my weight. I've lost Man, I got lost count 128 pounds, I believe, now in the last two years on carnivore. And I put together a compilation. I'll put it up here in the corner. It's a 4 hour video. So, start it. You can pause it and come back.

[00:13:56]YouTube usually picks up where you left off. Watch a little more. You can see me do this from the beginning. Uh, and I've given up drinking at pretty much the same time. I I was a glutton for punishment. I gave up a lot of things at once. But it just takes knowing that you're lying to yourself. Once you can understand that you're lying to yourself, nobody's making you do anything. Once you understand that, I think it's going to go a lot easier for you. So, let me know in the comments um if you're even thinking of stopping a bad habit and if I see your comment and I and I do read all the comments. I'll try to answer it. But I appreciate you guys watching. Check out some of my other videos. Hey man, go back a couple years and look at the big old fat slob I used to be. And you could tell I had brain fog fog. I couldn't even say fog. I had brain fog. I would just I'm not the same guy. Thanks for watching Happy Trails.

[00:14:57]And no, I'm not AI. Okay. Are you AI, Telly? You're AI. Cuz uh you know, an AI dog is you don't have to feed them. You don't have to feed them and you don't have to do anything for them. They're just there. They're AI. Okay.

[00:15:15]Happy truth.
