A Christian Power of Positive Thinking

In an experiment teachers were given a list with students who were destined to do especially well at the beginning of the school year. And indeed, at the end of the school year these pupils performed better than average. There was only one problem with the list, the choice of students was absolutely random.

Isn't this result amazing? If you believe in someone, your good-will lifts this person up. Unfortunately the corollary has to be that if you mentally trash someone, your bias will become self-fulfilling as well. Reality is a choice - your perceived reality is a mere reflection of your state of mind. As many of us know, the power of positive thinking works. Why don't you also try the Christian Power of Positive Thinking: Lift people up mentally and see how you allow them to realize their destiny.
