A prophecy that comes true just because it WAS prophesized in the first place.
For example, if someone goes to a fortune teller and asks if they'll get a job they've applied for, and the fortune teller says "No, you'll screw up the interview!" the person will be so nervous when going to the interview, because of what they've been told, that they will indeed screw it up.

As yet another occasion, in case you have confidence that your cousin is impossible to get alongside with, you will possibly no longer complication to be certain what is going on with the cousin, and would in no way discover out what's combating you from getting alongside with them. it must be something that somebody else mentioned, it must be X, it must be Y, yet once you think of "impossible" you will no longer complication to inspect. i don't be attentive to whilst or the place this word originated.
