If you're going to make up a story...make up a good one!

7/1/2016

 

I don't know anyone who hasn't at some point in their life thought....."Oh dear....I haven't heard from so-and-so.....I hope they haven't gotten into an accident".  The truth is we have all seen looks on people's faces and tried to figure out what they're thinking.  Or we've guessed about what will happen at a dinner party or future event. We tend to think in worst-case-scenarios. And the reality is that much of the time.....we're wrong.  So if you're going to guess at the future and make up a story ......then make up a good one!!!  If your spouse is late coming home from work then make up a story that they got caught up on the phone talking to an old friend instead of thinking that they've been in a car accident.  The truth is that it's all a guess until you get the actual information anyway.  So....if you're going to make up a story.....remember to remind yourself that you'll cope if it's the worst case scenario and then make up a good one!

 
Does this ring true for you?
