Simplified Meaning:
Imagine that you believe the worst possible thing has already occurred. Now, instead of feeling defeated, use that idea to help you move forward. Think about how you can rebuild and recover from this point on. Picture someone losing their job suddenly. Initially, they might feel scared and worried. But if they assume this is the worst thing that will happen, they can start figuring out their next steps - updating their resume, networking, and looking for new opportunities. By doing this, they shift their focus from the crisis to their recovery, empowering themselves to take action and make things better. This mindset helps in finding solutions rather than getting stuck in panic or despair.
