This video is about something we all do:
We are in denial about certain things in our lives, and we deny that we're going through them because it's easier to put them off in our mind. We say things like "I'll get around to that later, or that's not that bad, not that big of a deal."
Denial is a dangerous thing.
*Warning*: I'm going to really push on you in this video... no more Mr. Nice Guy 
What I want you to do is get real, sit down after this video, and write out in a journal entry: What are you in denial about? Then share what you wrote down in the comment box below.
Be well,
Sean
P.S. The more you get real with your truths, the easier life becomes.
Hi Sean,
Thanks for the reminder. I thought I was addressing the D's in my life then I checked in on Sean. Found some more, thanks. It seems an ongoing process of life, recognizing the D's before they become debilitating. Also, I have found that talking about them with trusted friends or when conversations warrant it, not only lessens the load but seems to endear people to us as one of their own, as I feel lots of your listeners do with you. Good Stuff Sean.

Thanks for your blog on denial, the situation that immediately comes to my mind is throwing away my money on lottery tickets.
Intuitively I knew this was not a blog I wanted to read or answer but here I am. If that isn't denial then what is? I seem to be getting it from all ends of the spectrum. Luckily I've been very receptive recently and am cleaning up the areas that need improvement. Seems like so much is at stake on every step and move I make.
Just got out of a relationship and I think that maybe I wasn't as present as I should have been, that I tolerated a lot of attitudes from her, that I wasn't authentic as I could have been- being truthful and straight forward with her. So, in full, I was denying myself the right to be the "man" I should have been in fear of loosing her attention and affection when she needed me to be authentic all along.
Dear Sean
Thank you for constantly challenging my perspective on myself and the world. Your posts always move me to action and I am eternally grateful. What are the blogs you enjoy and find motivating? I have a friend who has three videos he watches on youtube each day to get him going, are there any you'd recommend? Once again thank you for being in the world.

Wow, great synchronicity!
I have also been in denial about my studies, so your message was a real wake-up call to deal with that area of my life. Thanks & blessings for that!
Dear Sweet Sean,
As always you have made on impact on me. Your story brought tears to my eyes. As a former teacher I hav seen that pain of denial in many students in all sorts of ways. For myself, a lonely, painful marriage of nearly 30 years exists. Finances keep me locked into the unhappiness. Something will change for the better. Thank you Sean. Love you.----------
thank you for this sean!! you are amazing
love and hugs!

Hi Sean, thanks for sharing a part of your on life.
Denial is proper of mankind. Only human beings deny, lye to themselves.
I think that`s because recognizing what we are denying has to do with death and life. When you recognize what you were denying some part of yourself dies, and a new one is created in that movement.
For example, when you recognized you were neglecting your studies you killed the procastinating-Sean and created a let`s-do-it-now-Sean.
Procastinating is a problem for me as well! I`m dealing with it.
I recommend you: Jaques Lacan`s Seminar 5, it contains great comments about procastination.
Take care pal.

Sean,
You are amazing. Thank You so much for this video, and Thank You so very much for being to candid and real. You are an inspiration.
Much Love,
Renee.
Thank you for sharing this story Sean. It's true that the first step to any success is being honest with yourself and accepting the situation ,and then, deciding to take control of it or ask for help. The trick is to accept it and not measure ourselves by it afterwords, but just keep going despite whatever happened.
Hi Sean;
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us. I totally agree with you and feel that the more we realize about our denial, the more we become "ourselves".
Love

I am in denial about my current loneliness and my new financial situation after loosing alot of money in a partnership that was bad.
Sean,
Your editorial on taking care of what you are in denial of really resonated with me. I have been trying to break into the daytrading business now for almost 6 years.......talk about denial. Today after so many coaching programs, classes, coaches, I am still losing money, not making it. I am feeling very low regarding it since I really thought this was what would bring me to financial success. I am now wondering if it is truly a viable business or if it is only the brokers and coaching programs that are making the real money. I am going to ponder on what you said and see if its time to stop being in denial.
Hey Sean, Thanks for being such an INSPIRATION to so many Lives on this planet. I am your FAN
Sean,
This post really spoke to me. Having Crohn's Disease/UC, I have a lot of stories that are similar to the one that you spoke of. However, I always stayed away from the public eye. I am terrified of sharing such embarrassing stories on a blog, where lots of my friends will be reading. I am starting a website/blog, and I am having difficulty, figuring out how much I should share with everyone. I keep getting signals, that I should share all of the major aspects of my condition, and my life. As embarrassing as they may be. Your story inspired me.
Thanks,
Josh Lipovetsky.
Thank you Sean and very grateful for your honest advise. I am in denial for looking for a job and instead waste time doing every thing else except looking for a job. I fear it like a 9' dragon. I keep postponing this vital task of sending out resumes and going to interviews.

Another QUALITY video Sean. Thank You.
Great stuff Sean...
We ALL do it from time to time!
Denial can really hold us back.
Thank you for the reminder!

Hi, Sean.
Yes I have poop on my pants.
The best part of that is why are you sending thismensage today?
I've received some letter from you and This one fits perfect with my life in this moment.
Synchroneity? Thank you . You are really doing beautiful.
Lov, Mckarmo
That was immense Sean. Thanks.
Thanks, Sean. It's both very generous and effective to use your personal experiences to provide a memorable analogy for this vitally important issue. I like to remind myself regularly that I really do value even the ugliest truth over the most beautiful lie.
If we aren't real, above all else, we just aren't useful or healthy to ourselves or others yet. The truth is all there really is any way.
Hi Sean,thanks for sharing.something similar happen to me when i came down with diadeties,how embarissing it was.the hardest thing to do is to step back and try and look at yourself and to be able to see your own faults.A true freind can see them and will risk the freindship to make you see,he knows that when you realize they are ight, you will make amends to put the relationship back on course.i appreciate your wisdom and hope happy days will follow you in all that you do.i've lost all that i had except my family and a couple of really true freinds,and you know what, i've never felt so free, not to be burdened with the rat race.,but alast, nothing last forever be good Sean and if you can't call me ,i got bail money.lol
Hi Sean,
You always have an impact on me! One of the things I appreciate most about you is your true desire to help people through their pain. I do have some stinky stuff that I need to work on. One of them is a phone call that because of you...I am going to make right now!
Thank you for this! Once again...you have made a difference
Big Smiles,
