You hear people saying “I never get the chance to _______________.” Or, “I always ___________.” I think these are destructive phrases and simply are not true.
Your mind has a way of making things come true that you think about. We are wired this way. If you constantly think “I always have to clean up my co-workers mess” then your brain will find examples of this and you start believing it. But how true is this really?
Same thing with “I never” such as “I never get to do the fun stuff.” Say it to yourself long enough your brain puts into play examples of how you “never” get to do what you want to do.
Next time you find yourself saying these two phrases stop yourself. Think about what you are saying and correct your mind. Write down 5 times that you have gotten to do the fun thing or 5 times that you didn’t have to cleanup another mess. You’ll realize while these things may happen often it is a long way from never or always.
