Attitudes and Expectations
Our attitudes and expectations have a profound impact on what we believe is possible for us. In many ways, they create our reality. If we approach life with a positive attitude and high expectations, we are more likely to achieve our goals and live a fulfilling life. On the other hand, if we approach life with a negative attitude and low expectations, we are more likely to struggle and experience setbacks.
Our attitudes and expectations create possibilities and impossibilities. When we believe that something is possible, we are more likely to take action towards making it a reality. We are more likely to put in the effort required to achieve our goals, and we are more likely to persevere in the face of challenges. Conversely, when we believe that something is impossible, we are more likely to give up before we even try.
High Attitude and Expectations
Our attitudes and expectations also create our living conditions and circumstances. When we have a positive attitude and high expectations, we are more likely to attract positive experiences and opportunities into our lives. We are more likely to surround ourselves with supportive people, and we are more likely to take actions that align with our goals and values. On the other hand, when we have a negative attitude and low expectations, we are more likely to attract negative experiences and people into our lives. We are more likely to feel stuck and powerless to change our circumstances.
The Good News
The good news is that we have the power to choose our attitudes and expectations. We can choose to approach life with a positive attitude and high expectations, even when things get tough. We can choose to believe that anything is possible, and that we have the power to create the life we want. By doing so, we can create a reality that is aligned with our goals and values, and experience greater fulfillment and happiness in the process.
In conclusion, our attitudes and expectations play a significant role in shaping our reality. They create possibilities and impossibilities, and they create our living conditions and circumstances. By choosing to cultivate a positive attitude and high expectations, we can create a reality that is aligned with our goals and values, and live a more fulfilling life.

4 Cognitive dissonance: occurs when attitudes and expectations are inconsistent with each other or with an individual’s actions, leading to an uncomfortable psychological state that may motivate them to change their attitudes, expectations, or behaviour.
5 Self-fulfilling: prophecies occur when an individual’s expectations influence their behaviour in a way that makes those expectations come true.
6 The Pygmalion Effect: is a type of self-fulfilling prophecy, in which an individual’s high expectations for another person can lead that person to perform better.
