What you Say is How you Live
Be careful with what you say. How you say is how you live. If your choice of words are filled with negativity, your life is filled with negativity. If you keep telling yourself that you will be fired from your job, you will be fired from your job. If you tell yourself you are too old to change, would you make an effort to change? All these are self-fulfilling prophecy.
I am not asking you to be overly optimistic. You just have to see reality as it is. It is not as bad as you imagined, and it is not as good as you think. Life can be filled with challenges that are outside of our control. You can only control your behaviour and action. Therefore, make sure your actions are good and positive.
