Thanks Howie. Insightful connection, so many of our perceptions do function as self-fulfilling prophecies. That's why it always pays to question them, to consider alternate scenarios.

Hope you're well!

Lovely article, and such a sweet and positive practice. I'm reading "HumanKind," by Rutger Bregman, which reinforces the idea that our views on other people can become self-fulfilling prophecies — so it behooves us to treat them as we wish them to be.
