There are two primary types of self-fulfilling prophecies.

One is the Self-imposed prophecies, which are based on your own expectations.

It is more about what one thinks of himself, and then their thoughts and beliefs become true.

It is entirely your own view and what you choose to believe in, and it can affect your behaviour and actions to a greater extent.

Another one is Other-imposed prophesies, based on what other people expect to happen.

Here it's the people around you making predictions, they can think of anything, and it can have a significant impact.

In both cases, it depends on how one is using the prophecy.

The results would be more fulfilling if someone uses it for positive thinking and actions.
