#self-fulfilling-prophecies

The emerging consensus is striking-the mind does not merely interpret reality; it actively participates in shaping it. Across research on the placebo effect, athletic peak performance, and self-fulfilling prophecies, a consistent pattern appears: what we expect, believe, and even feel profoundly alters how we experience the world. Put differently, the mind is not a passive observer. It is a predictive, generative, reality-filtering system-one that continually constructs the lens through which we live our daily experiences.
