“I've noticed that worrying is like praying for what you don't want to happen”
— Robert Downey Jr.

Simplified Meaning:
When you worry a lot about something bad happening, it’s like you’re giving it more power and making it more likely to come true. Imagine you're constantly scared of failing a test. Every time you think about failing, your brain gets more stressed and anxious. This stress can make it harder to study and focus, which actually increases your chances of not doing well on the test. Instead, if you stay positive and focus on doing your best, you’re more likely to succeed. So, it’s better to put your energy into positive thinking and actions rather than worrying, because worrying too much can bring about the very things you're scared of. Use your effort to plan and prepare, not to dwell on fears.
