A common conversation:
“How are you?”
“I’m Fine – Busy – Living the dream – Can’t complain – Better than I deserve – I’m OK how are you doing? – Another day, another dollar – Same stuff, different day”
Ugh.
I understand where these responses come from, I will even give you those answers at times.
But WHY?
How about these , “Need anything? Anything I can do for you? How can I support you?”
“I’m ok, but thanks. Nothing comes to mind. I’m good.”
What if there was a different strategy? Dare I judge a better strategy? Here’s my invitation. What would it look like to actively look for ways to have others support you?
