What conclusion might a reader draw from the passage below about word choice? Other than your thoughts, your words are your prim
ary entry point into your experience. They paint a picture of your expectation and pave the way towards your experience. When you "have" to do something it implies that it's not a choice--that you'd rather be somewhere else, doing something different. This, in turn, implies that your heart isn't fully into what you are doing, which makes living up to your potential extremely difficult and enjoying your experience near impossible. So when you say, "I have to go to work," you are in a subtle way setting yourself up for a bad day. This doesn't mean you'll always have a bad day--but it certainly increases the likelihood. A. That if you want to have an enjoyable experience, you should convince yourself that you "have" to do it.
B. That when you have choices, you are prevented from living up to your potential.
C. That a shift in language, such as, "I am choosing to go to work," can have a positive effect on your attitude.
D. That having a bad day at work is unavoidable.
