It's All Or Nothing... Or Is it?

I always do that.

I never do that.

Everyone is doing it.

No one is buying it.

It happens every time.

Everything is going wrong.

Always, never, everyone, no one, every time and everything are rarely correct (notice I did not say never correct). They are all-or-nothing words.

The words we use are powerful. Both for the people who hear them as well as our subconscious minds.

Is it true that you always screw up?

Is it true that you never make a mistake?

Is it true that everyone is on social media?

Is it true that no one is buying your product or service?

Is it true that your kids push back every time you ask them to do their chores?

Is it true that everything is going wrong?

Be careful what you say to others and what you tell yourself. If you say the lie enough, you may just end up believing it.
