One example of when I lived up to my own expectations was when I set a goal to run a half marathon. I had never run more than a few miles at a time, so it was a big challenge for me. However, I believed in my ability to train and prepare for the race. I followed a training plan, stayed dedicated to my workouts, and focused on my nutrition and rest. As a result, I was able to complete the half marathon and even exceeded my own expectations by finishing with a better time than I had anticipated. This experience reinforced my belief in my own abilities and showed me that with hard work and determination, I can achieve my goals. It was a clear example of self-efficacy leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy.
