Your mind is very powerful. Yet, if you're like most people, you probably spend very little time reflecting on the way you think. After all, who thinks about thinking?
If you draw wrong conclusions about who you are and what you're able to do, you'll limit your potential.
Your thoughts leads to self-perpetuating (自我持续的) cycles. So if you think you're failure, you'll feel like a failure. Then, you'll act like a failure, which reinforces (强化) your belief that you must be a failure.
I see this happen all the time in my therapy office. Someone will come in saying, "I'm just not good enough to advance in my career." That assumption leads her to feel discouraged and causes her to put in less effort.
Once you draw a conclusion about yourself, you're likely to do two things; look for evidence that reinforces your belief and discount (低估) anything that runs contrary to your belief. Someone who develops the belief that he's a failure, for example, will view each mistake as proof that he's not good enough. Consider for a minuet that it might not be your lack of talent or skills that are holding you back. Instead, it might be your beliefs that keep you from performing at your peak.
That's not to say positive thoughts have magical powers. But optimistic thoughts lead to productive behavior, which increases your chances of a successful result.
