Attitudes and Behaviors
By Pat McChristie

Henry  Ford said, "If you think you can or you think you  can't, you're right!" Would that apply to singles today? We think so!

Attitudes control behaviors and outcomes. Outlooks  become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Your outlooks and your attitudes produce your behaviors.

Positive attitudes and  expectations produce positive behavior while negative outlooks produce negative behaviors.

We all perceive life selectively. This means we constantly filter out most of the sounds and scenes around us, allowing only a  manageable  amount through to our consciousness.

Those perceptions that we allow ourselves then,  are those that  are consistent with our expectations and attitudes.

In other words, singles pretty much see what they expect to see, experience what they  expect to experience, and achieve what they expect to achieve.

Whatever  you believe about an issue will influence your  perception and actual behavior in situations related to that issue.

Let us say that again: Singles pretty much see what they expect to see, experience what they  expect to experience, and achieve what they expect to achieve.

Therefore, when you expect  to fail,  this often becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

But, if you expect to succeed, that also becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Whatever  you believe about an issue will influence your  perception and actual behavior in situations related to that issue.

If you expect to have a date, you probably will. If you expect to get married (again), you probably will.

You get the picture!
