… Eliminate the negative.
So let me ask you: if you were really interested in, say, learning a new language and the first thing your language teacher said was, “This is going to be really hard and you’re never going to be fluent, but you may be able to learn to understand when someone gives you directions,” would you still keep going to class? Would your heart be a little pained because your happy dreams had been stomped on?
(Okay, that first sentence was really long. Sorry.)
I bring this up because I just got back from getting some work done at a medical massage clinic here in town. As I was waiting for my turn, I overheard a therapist “answering questions” in a bored tone of voice about the clinic’s approach to massage.
