Self-fulfilling Prophesy

Hopefully, everyone has dreams of a future full of life, love and adventure. Hopefully, each of us have set out to make those dreams a reality. When we set goals, it is important that we also take measures to implement steps toward attaining the goals we set. We set the standard and we are the driving force behind our success or failure. The term "Self-fulfilling Prophesy" is a term that can either be a positive thing or a negative one. Simply put, a self-fulfilling prophesy is a prediction of an outcome or an expectation that is re-enforced by the actions we take. When we take positive strides toward achieving our goals then we are setting the groundwork of a successful outcome. When we do things that are detrimental to what we say we desire, we have to ask ourselves a few questions. Do we really believe we can reach our goals? Do we really want to be successful in that area of our life? Are we sincere about the goals we claim to desire or are we just making idle conversation? Sometimes we are our own worst enemy because we sabotage ourselves by engaging in behavior that will not benefit us or put us in the best position to reach our goals. Sometimes we are looking for excuses that we can point to and say that is the reason things couldn't workout and it's not my fault. We all should reflect on our own actions and honestly assess whether we contributed to our own demise. Are we being real with ourselves or are we just paying lip-service by saying what we think others want to hear? Let's all pledge to be honest about our hearts desire. It may align with what others desire for us or if may take us in a totally different direction. Whatever the case, be true to you and let your actions speak as loudly as your words.
