The Power of a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy
The power of positive thinking. In hard times it is more important than ever to remember how thinking can effect behavior, and ultimately outcomes. You see, it starts with attitude. And with controlled, purpose-driven thought. I have seen this bore out in the last few months of my life and I believe it to be true for all people, all of the time. Now I am a realist, so let’s do a reality check. Happy thoughts don’t always lead to happiness. And good things happen to bad people. But as a rule, we need to focus on the things we can control and abandon the rest.
Thoughts–>Actions–>Change
You have to start at the beginning: the starting line. Thoughts are a precursor to behavior. Focus with intent on good things, and things you can control, and things you want to be or do. Then translate that thought into actions. Often times this will happen naturally. And those actions will be the catalyst for change.
In other words, keep you head up and keep moving forward. You will come out at the end of the tunnel blessed by light.

Not only happy thoughts lead to happiness but it is a beginning. If you start to think more positive and optimistic you will start to feel the difference; it’s a journey not a destination. I found an interview, from the happiness show, with a happiness advisor, where they amongst other explain the vicious cycle of negativity and the cycle of positivity.
