But regardless of all this, the bodybuilding veteran tries to motivate his audience to have a positive mindset.

Concluding with this part, ‘Terminator’ suggests thinking of yourself as a young individual and removing negative thoughts about aging. Instead of looking for anti-aging cosmetic products, it’s wiser to have a younger mind. Adding to this, Arnold said, “People who think poorly about aging tend to age worse, whereas those who don’t view it as a negative age better.”
