‘Wow, a place in Bali. It must be nice.’ Yes, ‘it’ is nice-for me it makes sense in the context of my life. This post isn’t about moving to Bali…

I’m thinking of small comments that set a tone and a direction and a mindset for your future. Do yourself and your capacity for personal freedom a favor, and beware the act of verbalizing the immediate distance between yourself and some wonderful future or direction that you might want to explore.

It might be a subtle, subversive attempt to absolve yourself from even making an effort to change your life… We are taught by lazy, timid people that its perfectly ok to do this.

But maybe its not ok, for you…. You did say that ‘it’ must be nice. Why set the possibility of an improvement at arm’s length? Verbalizing a barrier can be the moment when ‘difficult’ becomes ‘impossible’, when an innocuous comment becomes epic failure.

It is nice. See for yourself.
