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 One Decision That Changed Everything

What if the confidence you’re waiting for… never actually comes?

In this honest and heartfelt episode of The Billy Boss Show, I share the mindset shift that changed the direction of my life — the moment I stopped waiting to feel ready and finally chose to take action.

For years, I told myself, “Once I feel more confident, then I’ll go for it.” “Once I have it all figured out, then I’ll move forward.” But the truth? That moment of “readiness” never arrived — and it kept me stuck, small, and disconnected from the life I truly wanted.

In this episode, I will share:

● How the fear of not being ready holds us back more than the fear itself

● Why waiting for the perfect time is a trap that only feeds self-doubt

● The tiny mindset shift that gave me permission to move forward, imperfectly

● How one small decision led me to run marathons, write a book, launch this podcast, and reclaim my voice

You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need to feel fearless. You just need to start — and trust that confidence will meet you along the way.

🎧 Tune in to this episode and discover how one decision, even a small one, can change everything.
