POSITIVE THINKING

"Playing the odds" on what "probably" can or will happen may more likely reap more benefits than trying to WILL something into happening through some sort of positive thinking practice. Things that happen to you may have more to do with the "coincidental odds" of things happening in the normal course of events and not necessarily due to your POSITIVE thinking at all.

Positive thinking is more emotional and from the heart, while negative thinking can be more rational, like in looking for what can go wrong. A negative thinker may have greater opportunity to fix things BEFORE they go wrong. It is believed by some that the MORE intelligent you are, the MORE negative your thinking habits may tend to be.

However, intelligence does NOT mean one is knowledgeable and some of our most "knowledgeable" minds do not always come across as intelligent.
