Do Not Let Anybody Manipulate You

Life’s too short to allow yourself to be manipulated by anybody, be it business or your so-called best friend. Anybody who communicates the following messages is not thinking about you, they’re thinking about what is best for them.

  • If you don’t use our product, you will never lose weight.
  • You will not be beautiful if you don’t use our moisturiser.
  • If you don’t reset your password, you will not have access to your account.
  • cross my palm with silver and I will take away that curse that has dogged your life.
  • If you love me, you will do it.

This is how people and big business us your fear as a weapon: Don’t let use it anymore. Use the senses you were born with to see through their clever games. Do not be manipulated.
