As I mentioned earlier, my psycho emotional state often feels as though it ranges from that of a one year old child to that of a ten year old. In a sense, I travel back and forth on a high speed elevator through time, from my 38 year old adult self (in 2026) down to the emotional state of a one year old child and back again. I described this experience in more detail in my article "
The Main Secret of Eternal Youth or How to Make Your Genes Work in Reverse".
Perhaps because of this, I always hope for the best, much like a child would (with a psycho-emotional state ranging from approximately 1 to 10 years old), while still allowing for the possibility of the worst outcome (with the wisdom of a family lineage accumulated over 500 years). In doing so, I give people the opportunity to act correctly and with goodwill, while at the same time understanding that things may not always unfold in the best possible way.
At the same time, by preparing myself for the worst case scenario, I avoid a strong emotional blow when the outcome turns out to be somewhere in the middle rather than exactly as I had hoped. Because I have already accepted the possibility of the worst outcome in advance, I am able to remain balanced and move forward, even if events do not unfold according to my original expectations.
An example of this mindset comes from my own experience. In 2017, I built the world's first machine capable of producing a unique food product, entirely with my own hands. By 2018,
I already had 31 franchise partners operating in approximately 8-10 countries around the world (I can't even remember how many countries there were, it all happened in the blink of an eye).
In 2019, I was offered an investment of $4 million. However, it eventually became clear that the investors wanted to remove me entirely from the business, place me in the role of a passive dividend recipient, and gain full control over my technology.
As a result, when the pandemic began, I simply shut the project down. I sacrificed the money, but I kept my conscience and my word.
Now imagine a person effectively walking away from a future worth $4 million while living far more modestly than that amount would suggest. Most people who place all their hopes on such an outcome would be devastated if it disappeared. Some might even feel as though their world had collapsed.
In my case, however, I had already prepared myself for the worst and suspected from the beginning that there might be a hidden catch. That mindset protected me from an emotional tsunami when things did not go as originally envisioned. Money and gold are not God. God is Good. If this principle is helpful to you,
feel free to use it in your own life.
