29 Worn Out Perspectives in Need of the “Oh Really?” Factor
Lifehack.org: "If we really listen, we will hear a quality of flatness, resignation or a dissonant righteousness in our speaking. To bring choice, openness, and inquiry back into your reality try adding the challenge “oh really?” to these 29 worn out perspectives (or your own) and turn up the heat on those victim-making, life-killing, soul-sucking, war-making phrases that have been sapping your fulfillment."
Haha, this was hilarious. Mainly because I have heard these phrases a billion times, if not from my own head, from everyone around me. It is true; we need to start challenging these repetitive and stifling thoughts. Who knows what is hiding behind them that may lead to the progress we have been waiting for. Plus if nothing else, it is really funny to read all of these out loud.
