May reflects on what she calls her “pessimistic mindset” and critical upbringing, which has led to a constant battle with negativity and self-criticism. She describes stumbling upon an analogy about free bagels and long lines, which triggers a realization about the importance of mindset. May acknowledges the tendency to focus on obstacles rather than opportunities, and how this mindset can hinder personal growth.  She expresses their desire to change their narrative, embrace positivity, and overcome their critical thinking. The author emphasizes the need for balance and a willingness to step out of one's comfort zone to seize opportunities. Mentions: Mel Robbins, author of "Take Control of Your Life" (mentioned for her audiobook that inspired the author) Simon Sinek, author and inspirational speaker (mentioned for his bagel analogy) Satan (mentioned metaphorically as the critical voice the author refuses to let influence their mindset) Our Advice!
