Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice -Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Winner's Circle Network with Lou Tice - " Self-Fulfilling Prophecy "

Do you know what a self-fulfilling prophecy is? Most people know that a

self-fulfilling prophecy is an event that, because it is predicted and

expected, is therefore more likely to happen, and even caused to happen.

For example, according to Success magazine, two different groups of

psychologists were once asked to observe the same child playing. One group

was told beforehand that the child was emotionally disturbed. The other

group was told that the child was a genius. When the psychologists were

asked to report on their observations afterward, each group had found

evidence to support their preconceived ideas.

Now, it's important to realize that self-fulfilling prophecies are everyday

experiences -not just laboratory experiments. What do you expect your day to

be like when you get up in the morning? How do you expect your kids to

behave? How much success do you expect for yourself?

You see, if you predict failure, failure is generally what you will find.

And if you expect excellence, excellence is very likely what you will get.

How we think about a situation determines how we act, and how we act, more

than anything else, determines the results.

That is how self-fulfilling prophecies work. There's nothing magical about

it. What you get in life is pretty much how you behave, coming back at you.

To me, it makes perfect sense. What do you think?
