Thoughts, Ideas, Words, Actions.

We know we need to watch our thoughts because thoughts can turn into real things through a relatively easily understood path. Sometimes even with our predictive powers we can bring negative results upon ourselves. This weekend I had taken my daughter to one of these rock climbing walls and was truly taken aback by what one grandfather was telling his grandson.

The man was telling the young boy, who was having trouble climbing the wall. Of course you want be able to climb it. You just can't do it. He went on to deride the child telling him how worthless he was etc. I wanted to make sure he did not say anything to my daughter. The problem is predictions can be powerful.

Luckily just like negative predictions can have disastrous results, so too positive predictions can have beneficial results.
