No, I haven’t gone mad but you do have the equivalent of a small child in your head which is also known as you subconscious mind.

A small child will do anything that you tell it to do. Tell the child to jump into the lake and he will, tell him to pull the dogs ears, no problem. The subconscious mind is exactly the same and will believe whatever you tell it.

Tell yourself that you will have a terrible day today and you will, tell yourself that you will never amount to anything in your life and hey presto, your wishes will come true.
