814 - Cliches

Cliches are an issue for us because they're true, but hard to live by. We hate hearing them because we've heard them so often.

Here's a neat trick, if a cliche annoys you, but you know it’s true…it’s probably because you haven’t absorbed it yet. If we don’t live by a thing we know is true, hearing it ALL THE TIME is insufferable.

The moment we fully integrated a so-called cliche into our beliefs and actions, it stops sounding like a cliche, and starts sounding like our own thoughts.

And no one likes anything better than hearing their own thoughts spoken back to them.
