"If you keep saying things are going to be bad, you have a good chance of being a prophet"

This quote by Isaac Bashevis Singer is a reminder that our words have power. If we keep stating that things are going to be bad, we are essentially anticipating the future. We are setting ourselves up for a self-fulfilling prophecy. Our words can form our truth and if we keep stating that things are going to be bad, we are most likely to produce an unfavorable outcome. On the other hand, if we focus on the favorable and speak words of hope and optimism, we can produce a more favorable result. This quote is a suggestion that our words have the power to shape our future which we must be mindful of the words we select to utilize.
