That's myopic as fuck. Shallow, yes, but shockingly self-centered. Are you in school, still?

Nope. It's actually exactly how our brains work.

Life will mirror the narrative you have in your head. If your story is "This is impossible" you don't do anything to make it happen because you believe it's pointless. Change the story to "This is hard but doable" and you'll do more to affect change.

The more you change the narrative to the positive, the better things get and more people are able to change their narrative.

Spreading doomerism just goes to ensure we all end up doomed.

People just ignore this kind of advice because they think it's shallow or "too easy," lol. And it's not self centered unless your story is.
