you need to be delusionally optimistic negative thinking poisons your brain and leads to congitive decline whereas positive thinking, and gaslighting yourself into thinking everything is amazing, ACTUALLY makes your life amazing too. you must be a silly goose

When we embrace our failures and push ourselves to face them, we are most likely to recognize when they begin to occur in real time. Much more effective than positive thinking is reviewing our own "book of truths" each day: @TomHougaard @harrimanhouse

WHY I AM A PREPPER Speaking to a group the other day I mentioned I was a prepper. A woman raised her hand and asked “If you are a prepper, aren’t you being pessimistic? Isn’t positive thinking healthier? I replied “Do you have insurance on your car?” She replied “Yes” “Are you hoping for an accident?” “No” she replied shaking her head. I have insurance just incase I’m in an accident.” “Do you own any gold, silver, Bitcoin?” She shook her head “No.” “What will happen to your money when the economy crashes?” I asked. “The government will print more of it.” “And what will happen to the purchasing power of your money?” Nodding her head she replied, “It will go down in purchasing power?” “And that’s called…..?” “Inflation?” She smirked. “The Fed and government’ steal our wealth via our money….legally… because they can print it…legally.” They steal our wealth via taxation and inflation….legally. “I only want money the government cannot print.” “I also own oil wells. Governments are big buyers of oil. Great customers. They give me money” “And that’s why you’re a financial prepper? She said with smile. I just nodded my head. Q: Are you a “financial prepper?” A: And what is YOUR answer? Take care, 👍
