Basically,I think that thinking positively can keep your own morale up,which might cause good things to happen.Thinking negatively can make you bring yourself into a depressed mood,lowering your morale.So,I think that positive thinking does cause good results,but this is just my speculation.

positive thinking is an influence if you think about it. Like gameplayer5 said if you have positive thoughts then your morale will be high. Morale does have an effect on how you do things. I told myself that I could eat 5 tacos without barfing and I was able to do it b/c I thought positive! Of course I barfed after the 6th homemade taco but maybe it was just the bad meat XDwait if it becomes overconfidence is it really positive thinking anymore?

Being positive has sometimes brought up big disappointments. This is why I am pessimistic.

No, positive thinking doesn't do anything except make you feel good. It doesn't change the result of anything no matter how positive you feel.

mhmm, I read something about that book too :sly:The Secret, I think ?Yush, I believe in what's mentioned in that book :]Positive thinking is GREAT and actually I find it Lovable ^^although overdoing it with arrogance in the wrong times could be a deadly mistakelike believing in ur capability to jump over a 3 meter distance between cliffs for example =.="in order for you to make that thinking work positively, you must consider reality and all other angles and ideas about the thing you're about to go on withif you're going to think positive cause you like feeling good, dont do it, it will cause negative effects [ such as killing somebody because u think there's no one who could punish you or something ]if you're thinking positive because you've thought about it well and believe in it and REALITY approves... then way to go, thats a positive result

I believe that it can, but I also think sometimes believing something will go wrong makes the opposite happen.

Idk it sounds cheesy, but i guess if your thinking positive..then your feeling positive

Actually, yes this kind of thing actually works.my therapist taught me how to control my emotions by choosing whether or not to be that way.the mind is a powerful thing, if you want to bring about change in your thought process, or develop a certain mentality, you can will that to become reality if you want it bad enough.which is actually how behavioral therapy and mental hospitals work. (the therapy part)

_{I use the "power of positive thinking" to help me visulize hitting a stike while bowling. If I can take a couple seconds prior to throwing my ball to "go to my happy place", it allows me to ignore any distractions around me or in my life. Of course it is not a guaruntee that i hit a strike but I feel that the time used to clear negative thoughts and surround my brain with positive thoughts goes a long way towards achieving my goals. btw, my average is 172, good enough for 4th in my league.}
