“Worrying is like praying for something that you don't want to happen”
— Robert Downey Jr.
Simplified Meaning:
When you worry, you focus a lot on things you don't want to happen, almost like you're asking for them. It's like if you kept thinking about not wanting to spill your drink, but then your attention on it makes you more likely to actually spill it. Imagine you're really nervous about an important test. If you spend all your time stressing out about failing, you might get so anxious that you can't study properly or focus during the exam, which could lead to a lower score. Instead, try to use that energy to prepare well and think positively about doing your best. This way, you're more likely to succeed because you're focusing on what you want (to pass the test), not what you don't want (to fail). This approach can help in other areas of life too—focus on what you want to achieve rather than worrying about what could go wrong.
