What Do You Really Mean When You Say, "I AM FINE"

 

Do you know that “I am fine” is the most told lie in the English language? It is usually used when someone is, in fact, not fine but they say “I am fine” because they don’t want to burden others and it’s easier to explain than what’s wrong, would you agree?

F.I.N.E is said to stand for “Feeling Insecure, Neurotic and Emotional”, and can also be “Feeling I’m Nothing to Everyone” or “Feeling Inadequate, Needing Encouragement”. Whatever your definition of FINE may be most of us would just lie and say “I am FINE”, because it’s an easy way out.

Then why do we say “I am fine” when clearly, we’re not:

  • Not sure of what you really feel
  • Pretending to be okay
  • To avoid conflicts
  • Scared to tell what you're really feeling

 

Only those who identify with these feelings can truly understand the agony behind the words “I am fine.”

The next time someone asks how you are, think about the response you’re already anticipating. What if we didn’t settle for “fine”? What if we stop, take a moment, and answer with true sincerity how I’m doing? Or better yet, tell them how you’re feeling. We could all benefit from slowing down and honestly evaluating how we are doing.

The Adaptive Mindset: Thriving in Uncertainty with Lucinda Harris

 

 

How Do You Find Strength When Life Forces You to Change Direction?

Sometimes, life throws challenges our way that demands more than just grit—they require adaptability. Whether it’s a career shift, a financial setback, or a personal struggle, the ability to adapt can often be the key to not just surviving but thriving.

In this episode, I sit down with Lucinda Harris, a farmer, entrepreneur, and former nurse, to explore how adaptability has shaped her journey through some of life’s most unexpected turns. From leaving her family farm during a seven-year drought to building a successful life and business in a completely new environment, Lucinda shares powerful lessons on courage, decision-making, and resilience.

Tune in to hear more about:

  • How to step back, assess your options, and make decisions with clarity.
  • Why embracing change—even when it feels impossible—can lead to better opportunities.
  • The role of stress in holding you back and how letting go can transform your life. 

Lucinda’s story reminds us that sometimes, the hardest decisions can lead to the greatest rewards. If you’ve ever felt stuck, unsure of your next step, or fearful of change, this conversation will inspire you to embrace an adaptive mindset and uncover the possibilities waiting on the other side.

Tune in to this episode and learn how to navigate life’s uncertainties with strength and purpose.
