Self Fulfilling Prophecies

We may not always be aware of it, but we all create and repeat affirmations constantly.
The problem is, we typically don't pay attention to exactly what those affirmations are saying.
Often we go through the day giving ourselves all sorts of contradictory, or even negative messages.
We may project confidence to the world around us, while our inner dialogue says "I hope this works. I am so nervous about this, I hope I don't blow it."

Affirmations are self fulfilling prophecies.
If we say, "This is never going to work", then chances are excellent it never will.
