In psychology, there’s this cool idea called the wild horse effect. It talks about how wild horses in the huge African Savanna freak out and get super anxious when bats bite them. To get away from the bites, they just run for their lives until they’re totally wiped out. But here’s the kicker: the bats only take a tiny bit of blood, and it isn’t even dangerous. What really knocks the wild horses out is how they totally overreact to these little nips. Life is only 10% what happens to you and 90% how you deal with it. When tough times hit, it’s not always the outside stuff that matters most. The real problem often comes from us losing our grip on our emotions. Remember, friends, ships don’t sink just because of the water around them. They sink because of the water that gets on the inside. The whole ocean can’t take a ship down unless it gets in. So don’t let the chaos around you seep inside and drag you under.
