I would say; (as said below) I agree with the boxing of beliefs; and the holding onto the ones that make you more effective in life; even if they are sometimes not true.

an example: "pain is weakness leaving the body" is an example of a lie that can encourage you to do more pushups, and therefore be more effective at doing what you want to do; even if its not true.
