Depends on how you think. It doesn't alwasy work. It's tricky. You have to totally forget about the negative outcome of the situation. Often if you think about happiness, you also think about sadness.

marie: Ever suffer from the withdrawal symptoms of optimism, in your life? Yes; we all have at times. Positive thinking needs to be founded on reality or it is really negative thinking in positive thinking "clothes". For example: I say that there are lions on the street and there are NONE - this is negative thinking !!! BUT; if I say there are lions on the street and there are - that is positive thinking and the corresponding action would be to keep safe. There are people in this world, who are eternal optimists - everything that comes out of their mouth is great and wonderful. The answer is a definite "NO" ... positive thoughts don't always produce positive results for us all ! Like everything else, these thoughts have their time and place !!!

Guaranteed. It may not be immediate but in the long term, it's the only way to live. Sustained focus of the positive mind is most difficult but very well worth the attempt.
I referenced a book that my father brought home sometime in the sixties written by Dr. Maxwell Maltz "Psycho-Cybernetics". This idea has become the premise for almost all self help/self awareness cultures of today.
Also, no conversation about positive thinking would be complete without mentioning Dr. Wayne Dyer; I strongly recommend his book "The Power of Intention". It should be required reading for everyone searching for the truth.
Positive thinking doesn't spare you from human death or block you from life's horrors. It will, for the most part, keep you from experiencing only bad/negative issues. A few good people walked out of Buchenwald, how do folks account for living through what no person was to live thorough, just chance? The words "I want to live" can be just strong enough sometimes.

In the short term, yes. The problem is that positive thoughts are relative. In other words, something has to be negative before something else can be positive. Because of this, thoughts will have to waver between the negative and the positive.

Positive actions = positive results. I can sit at home all day and think positive thoughts that I will win the lottery, but unless I actually go buy a ticket, I have no chance of winning.

Not always. But having positive thoughts is definitely a great contributing factor in obtaining positive results.

Yes. Even if your initial thinking was positive and your results the first time out were negative. The positive thought would push you try again.

Sometimes it doesn't matter how positive your thoughts, negative things will come into your life one way or another. But the positive thinking will help you get though those though times. So I suppose the answer is Yes.

Yes, cause all positiveness starts from your thought and all deeps perceive your thoughts. Its is a lovely thing how your mind works. Your conscious mind is the mind that is logical and decisive one and your subconscious mind is the fertile ground that all your thoughts grow on. So what ever your conscious mind decides and puts into your subconscious mind it will grow and be reality. There for positive thoughts is the key for a positive results.

I sure know negative thoughts create lots of problems. So if we are watchful while mind starts to think negative that will kick the negative results out. Than thinking about positive thoughts why don't you pay attention to your negative thoughts..
