LIVING IN ANTICIPATION [11.16.97]

In any case, like all psychological structure and all hypotheses, this personal construct system tempts man to make predictions. And predictions in turn have a way of either occurring or not occurring, and usually being rather obvious about it. It is in terms of his predictions then that the mind of man comes at last into firm contact with reality. I would go even further and say it is only in terms of his predictions that man ever touches the real world about him.

[George Kelly 1969]
