I had learned about the self fullfing prophecy in school and what the self fullfilling prophecy means that whatever you believe it is or say it is, it is! And I can see some fact to it. I noticed when I say something is easy, it is easy but when I say something is hard, it is the most difficult thing you can possibly do. Lets think about taking a drive through a rainstorm. My mom said it is going to be a problem, but I said it was going to be no problem. I went through a rainstorm without any problem, but my mom was right...I had made a few mistakes but it looks like I went through it just fine.
The same thing it is going to be with everything else - things are going to happen the way I am believe it is going to happen. When I say I am going to do good on a test, I usually do well in a test because I am setting the stage. But you also have the belief that you are going to be too cocky, which gives you a more pessimistic attitute about me.
I had done this exercise in school and I might as well do this at home in this blog. I am going to put a few wishes on this blog and I am going to give out a positive self fullfilling prophecy.
I wish I could find a job in this ecomomy.
I am able to find a job in this economy.
I wish I could start dating and be in a relationship with someone.
I am able to start dating and to be in a relationship with someone.
I wish I am more organized.
I am a more organized person.
It seems like what I say I am is the truth. For example, organization. It looks like I am very good at sorting and categorizing and it seems like I could be using these skills to get myself to be more organized in more practical situations. I can put similar things together and I might as well stick the more similar things together which will make me a more organized person. It looks like I am saying getting organized is a boring, mundane task you have to do. It is fun! If I like to sort things, it looks like I am very good at sorting things and making lists.
Finding a job in this economy is tough, but it is not impossible. There are obviously people working in this economy and it seems like the economy is low, but maybe it is time for it to be a little lower. The economy is your perception as well. It was low compared to about 2007 but I don't think it is much different than it was about 2006 - it is a very high inflation and the unemployment is high, but it looks like people are not starving to death. I can find a job in this economy. I will find a job in this economy.
I wish I can be dating and start a relationship with someone. I can start a relationship - I am no ugly duck and there are people worse than me finding dates. I am perfectly able of dating and relationship as long as my hormones are working and I am able to talk! I have a voice and I have hormones. Even the dumbest people can get dates - I am looking at Wal Mart and I seen way worse than me getting a date. It looks like it is very far from impossible - shy guys and shy girls can get a date. The only thing that is preventing you from romantic relationships is the person's attitude. I have the biological features to be a man and a lot of women are looking for one. I am exposed to girls all day and I am able of dating one of them.
My whole attitude could change about this. If you see yourself as emo, you are emo. You see yourself as anything, you are.
The self fullfilling prophecy could be even at the spiritual level and it has been even been seen as Near Death Experiences. You have strong beliefs about hell or heaven, you see hell or heaven. If you believe you are earthworm food, you do have an afterlife of dirt and earthworms. But it makes sense - there is something after death. It needs to have something to happen next. You are not put on this planet for nothing, you are put on this planet for a purpose and God only knows what you are supposed to do. It looks like the things that happen to you, good or bad, are actually a good thing in the eyes of God.
