except thinking makes it so
install this chip, into yer brain,
and watch the potted plant grow

The mantra, perhaps, of countless millions of tedious narcissists the world over.

When you think positively, good things happen; now, that's much better

No need to feel one is in competition with those you meet "in every room". That way, shallowness and fakery lie.


Be the least toxic person in every room you enter.

But only to the slightest extent, verging on neutrality.

Some will notice you are holding back, as they themselves are.

Others have already dealt with so many controlling people that overt encouragement of positivity might be suspect in their view.
