Attitudes with singles become self-fulfilling prophecies. If you think you won't get a date, you might not, because your attitude will influence your behavior. If you think you will get a date or several dates, you probably will. Outlooks often become outcomes.

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! 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! |
