If you keep on saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of becoming a prophet. ~Isaac Bashevis Singer

If you keep on saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of becoming a prophet.  ~Isaac Bashevis Singer

Isn't that a self fulfilling prophecy that people talk about?   Does it really exist?   
I believe so.  The more I read, work and watch my friends and colleagues live their lives, the more I see this to be true.    Everything you think creates the framework for who you are and how you see the world.    You have a choice to see and thus operate in a world that is full of  joy, challenges to be met, possibilities and success*  or you can see the world as defeating, oppressive and worthless.  I’m not saying that life isn’t a challenge, that we never take missteps, that we don’t have to work hard or have a plan..WE DO.. Just know that you can make your life into whatever you truly “believe” it will be.   A Belief is a thought.  What do you think?


* the definition of success as it means to you.
