Sometimes we get carried away and create ideas for how we think that situations will play out. We predict our futures through the lense of the worst case scenario, telling ourselves we’re simply being practical. The reality is that it is a form of protection that leads to self sabotage.
Although it is said that having low expectations avoids disappointment, it can also be a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you believe things will turn out badly, you’re likely to start acting in a way that supports that and it will end up coming true.
However, sometimes life gives us an unexpected outcome as a reminder that things can be different but more specifically that things can be better.
