The power of self-fulfilling prophecies are a very real, clinically proven thing.
But here's the twist, as far as I can tell they only work in the negative i.e. we can very easily make the negative things we believe, become real. But we cannot simply believe in positive things for them to become real. That requires a lot more than just belief.
I think I'm going to call this one Charlie's law: "Its very easy to make a *negative* prophecy fulfil itself, but insurmountably hard to make a *positive* one do the same."
Which of the bad things in your life might have been your own negative self-fulfilling prophecies? I think never getting married was one of mine...
More importantly, I'd love to hear stories of anyone who has managed to realise positive self fulfilling prophecies in their lives....
Anyone??
