When we talk to our friends, it sometimes seems easier to talk about problems than about exciting potential. Our daily conversation scripts often sound like they were written by the same editors who write the headlines for the latest viral bad news story. We live, in our poorly programmed unconscious minds, in the disquieting shadow-world of uncertainty––believing that we should be achieving, but not knowing why, after so much frustration and trying, we are not.
This reminds me of the Darren Hardy saying that we are the average sum of our 5 closes friends. If you hang around people who talk negative about their life and commiserate with them, it will infiltrate your mind and consciousness.
