How do you know Positive Thinking works? I once was very positive about an exercise plan I was doing and yet I quit. So that proves that thinking that positive thinking works is just....well.... positive thinking! Why not think "realistically" so that you have a very good understanding of how the situation *really* is, or better yet why not think about the worse case scenario, so that you're prepared for the worse in case it comes?
I'm curious Markus, since you believe in positive thinking, how would you prove that it works to a pessimist?
