Why do we hammer ourselves with life-stifling, defeatist absolutes attached to negative expectations all the time?
I always get rejected…
I always get knocked down…
I always lose…
I always…
I call this the “tyranny of always,” and it is a form of false self-talk that is immensely destructive, because it closes the door to effort and possibility.
In this week’s GLP Riff, we go deep into this and I offer an invitation. Forget about the tyranny of always and make subtle shifts to the possibility of a different outcome.
If you believe a different outcome is possible how will you behave differently? How will you show up differently?
