Beware of the story you tell yourself.
The story we tell ourselves is the most powerful one in the world.
Eventually, we start believing it, even when it’s not true.
While a positive story by itself won’t guarantee a good outcome, a negative one will certainly prevent it from happening.
“If an idiot were to tell you the same story every day for a year, you would end by believing it.” — Horace Mann, h/t
