 What's up realized nation Isaac here checking in in the realized car and today I want to talk about self-fulfilling prophecies Which is something I think is very important but not Very well understood by people now Back in the day. I used to sit exams and I would study for these exams, right? put in the work but whenever It was time to actually sit the exam the final exam. I'll always crack under pressure for whatever reason I always crack and just Get mind blanks. I forget about everything I studied I would not manage my time properly and Always and again shitty results so my friends were always surprised because I was was the one teaching them before the exam But we get the worst marks during or after the exam So I realized that the reason this kept happening the reason this pattern kept happening is because of the self-fulfilling prophecy I started believing that I would mess up in the exam and Because I believed it. I kept thinking about it. It actually happened or the subconscious level I was actually programming myself to do that. You see You hear a lot of books talk about the subconscious mind and its power But what you have to realize is it actually is really important The quality of your thoughts or what you think about often dictate What you're going to do? Dictate the results you're gonna have. It's like what James Allen says here You are today where your thoughts have brought you you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you your thoughts are so important and I want people to understand that your thoughts your Imagination and all these things they play a huge role in what success you actually have in the real world obviously you can't get success by just Sitting around all day and just thinking about it But if you think about it and you're doing the work you're in a better position. They actually did an experiment This is gonna contradict what I just said That is three three basketball teams right or three groups of people for this experiment And they measured each group's shot from the three-point line to see how each person went, right? so after they tracked the percentage Fucking bowls went into the hoop for each group. They told one group to go home and forget my basketball Don't worry about it They told another group to practice to practice often to practice the three-point shot every day And they told another group to not practice but to envision it To envision what it would be like to make the shot exactly what they would do as they're doing it But just in their mind every day So they brought all these groups together and what happened was that the group that didn't practice actually Got worse a lot of them The group that practice got 25% better and the group that just sat around Imagining it apparently Increased by 23% So your thoughts actually have the capacity to change your direction life. Obviously This experiment involved amateurs obviously you're not gonna become LeBron James just in pretending or envisioning to be LeBron James but a lot of your results are determined by what thoughts you entertain and which ideas go through your mind regularly so in order to combat this bad pattern I have I had of You know messing up during the exam period I start changing my thoughts as I think of myself kicking ass during the exam So I think of myself getting high distinctions things think of myself Doing incredibly well And it's something amazing happen when I sat these exams. I no longer had that Self-fulfilling prophecy. I no longer had that tendency to mess myself up to get in my own way Just anyway, sometimes when you Try to remember something let's say you often forget your phone number And then you go up to someone who's about ask you for your phone number and you're like, oh crap I'm gonna forget my phone number What happens is you forget your phone number or sometimes there's a pin, you know a Pin, you know very well, but for some reason you think just I'm gonna forget it this time and you're not forgetting it That's a self-fulfilling prophecy the thought is sending a message to your subconscious mind Your subconscious mind is doing what it does and that's receiving the message that it gets often and just Going to autopilot taking action making it happen So you have to be really careful with what you're thinking about.
