The Caveat with Labels

Labels are convenient for social interactions.

Tell people you're a barista, and they know exactly what you do in your job without needing further explanation.

If we're not careful, these labels can become limiting.

The same goes with labelling the events in our life:

• When we label something as "bad": We assign a negative energy to it, which can block us from learning the lessons we needed to learn.
• If we label something as "good": We might avoid taking full responsibility for what had happened.
