There's going to be something bad happen to you three times a week, right? Sure. And you can either go, oh, me, I'm a victim. Why does this keep happening to me? Or you can go, hey, there's some lesson I'm going to learn in this, or something good that's going to happen out of this. Your choice of which road you go down is going to impact your health and your longevity in your health span in a big, big way. That's the major thing that I would tell people. Choose to think positively about your life, because this thing up here, this brain, this is just a computer that tells your body what to do. If you say, I'm sick, I'm tired, your body's like, okay, that's what you want me to do, right? You're programming this to do what you want it to do. You have to realize this thing that rests above your shoulders is a programming center. Be careful about what you program into it, because that too will manifest in a negative way if you put garbage into it.
