How Are You?

The typical response to the question “How are you?” is, “Good.” Sometimes this is done to be polite and other times to avoid any further conversing.

Although you might think that it is harmless to say “Good.” when you are experiencing difficulty or are in a time of trial, couldn’t it also be considered a lie? I know that talking about life’s issues is awkward especially in business situations, but if you are willing to lie about how you are doing, then what else are you willing to lie about?

This simple question is a canned everyday occurrence, but that doesn’t mean your answer has to be too. Take the time to figure out your real answer and don’t be afraid to open up to people. There needs to be more open honesty in the world.

Here’s to being honest with yourself! And here’s to realizing how you truly are doing!
