Self-fulfilling prophecy is a psychological concept meaning that people will unconsciously follow their words and eventually make them happen. Kind of similar to the law of attraction, what's on your mind, your attention goes towards you will focus on what you want and then make it happen.

I was wondering earlier if it's also possible to blog about the Scholarship in the same way that you can use self-fulfilling prophecies. I imagined myself getting the top prize ......

But rational thought tells us that you can't do much at all with this dice shaking thing, it's pure luck.

But if your self-fulfilling prophecy is "I'm lucky" it's possible, because in life your attention can be unconsciously focused on making choices that are good luck, or you're constantly on the lookout for moments of good luck, and step by step you're being self-fulfilling. For example, if you step on dog shit, you feel quite lucky because you only stepped on a little bit of it, not all of it, that's good luck.

Suddenly, you're glad that life is actually pretty good, and that unlike the dice roll where everything is pure luck, you can still do something about most things in life to make it go in the direction you want it to go.

Since this is the case, why not let yourself to a better result to look forward to, and then the process of doing enough effort, for the results no matter what, are open to it.
