The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

By Sidney Sorensen, 9th Gup Orange Belt

In general, never say “never” and “always”.
However, there is such a thing as the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Never tell yourself that you can not do something!
Whether it’s Chayon-Ryu, math or anything else.
If you do, guess what, you can’t do it!

Not because you can’t, but because you told yourself you can’t.

Have confidence in yourself, tell yourself you can do it,
 and you will be able to do it!

Thus, the self-fulfilling prophecy! 

You may have to work at it,
but you will have to work at anything you do in life.

Some things may be easy for you and hard for someone else,
or some things may be hard for you and easy for someone else.

That is life.

Sometimes, you might feel that life isn’t fair, but
nowhere is it written that it is or should be!

Always do your best
and
never tell yourself that you can’t do something !!
