Wrong

It’s going to be okay . . .

Wrong. Try again. 

Uhhh. . . . What?

If you are going to sell yourself a dream, make it a better one.

This isn’t a dream, though, this is my life. 

Exactly.

It’s going to be great. 

Be selective with your words. If you are going to tell yourself an affirmation, make it a better one.

Try again. Stop living in the future. 

Er . . .

Go on. You got it. It’s right there. So simple. So clear. So obvious. 

Oh! Der!! It IS okay. It IS great. There’s no point in telling ourselves a story about the future— creating an expectation for it—when we can tell ourselves a story about the present. I see. We should be very selective with the words we tell ourselves because I sure as hell know how important the words we use are to how we experience reality. If our story feels wrong, then it’s our responsibility to tell ourselves a better story.
