Ever hear of self fulfilling prophecy? Perhaps by anticipating the worse you are actually helping the worst to happen?

I know it sound trite but I have found my attitude and the outcome I expect does influence how "things" turn out. If I expect a bad resutl, that often what I get. If I expect a good result, that's often what I get.
