Your Self-Fulfilling Prophesy
It has been said here “Don’t predict your future, just be prepared for it.” Of course we often do predict and prepare for our future by our outlook and inner-speak.
While it is probably impossible to scientifically prove that a positive outlook will bring the desired results, there is no downside. At a minimum, you will be cheerful, and that’s a good start for keeping you on the right path.
You can’t change that which comes and is meant to come your way, but you can change the choices you make and what those choices bring your way. If your outlook is positive, then it is highly probable that the choices you make will take you higher.
“Think good and it will be good.” – Rabbi Menachem Mendel, The Tzemach Tzedek
If your outlook is negative, then it is a certainty that the choices you make will take you there.
“If you keep saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet.” — Isaac Bashevis Singer
