Generalisations...

Just because the roads are a little busier, it doesn’t mean that everyone is breaking lockdown.

Just because most people stay quiet in that meeting, it doesn’t mean that no-one cares.

Just because I struggled today, it doesn’t mean I always will.

Just because you fell short of your goal today, it doesn’t mean you’ll never succeed.

Generalisations are useful, but when they lead to negative thoughts, it’s always* best to add a bit of logic, fact or kindness to the mix….

(* And I love the irony that this thought only works when we generalise…)
