Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
The power of positivity is one of the hottest emerging topics of the time. People today are becoming more and more aware about the power of human mind and thoughts. Psychologists and thinkers have increasingly focused on the importance of positive thinking in human life. Though it is not a new concept according to the Indian mythology. Indian sages used to say that a person‘s destiny is in his/her own hands. Their intension was to make people aware about the tremendous power possessed by the human mind and the need to channelize that energy for the upliftment of the mankind. Even the modern psychologists and scientists have found a significant positive relation between a person‘s mental beliefs and situations he/she encounters in life. It is said that whatever we think and spend our mental energy on, manifests itself in physical form in our lives. This phenomenon is the essence of the concept known as ―self-fulfilling prophecy‖. The aim of this paper is to study the meaning of this term and the implementation process. This paper also highlights the interplay of self-fulfilling prophecy with the concepts like- stereotyping and expectations. This paper intends to study the step by step implementation of this concept in real life as suggested by various researchers and talk about the factors impacting it.
