When you’ve finished watching this clever, visually-appealing but spiritually bludgeoning video, go read The Little Engine That Could a few times.
Positive thinking can bring about positive acting. This is common sense, “where your head goes your tuches will follow” stuff.
I’ll go further to say that attractive behaviors and thinking trump repulsive behaviors and thinking every time. This is also common sense, “mean people suck” stuff. Stuff your granny could have taught you if she wasn’t busy all the time at the firing range.
The lesson of the positive thinking movement is not to replace thinking for doing, but to instill confidence in the individual’s ability to achieve great things that seem insurmountable. Or at least that’s how I read it, being a positive thinker and all. It could be that it is actually all about encouraging non-action so that we’re available for easy harvesting by the potted meat machines.
