I had a friend who called positive thinking "imagineering". Her contention was that if you wanted something, you had to be able to imagine it happening so strongly that you could see yourself doing it repeatedly. She did not believe that it would happen automatically, but that if you imagined it happening and practiced it physically as well as imagining it, you increased your odds.

I believe it works. Many times I have had the opportunity to put this to the test and it does help. Positive thinking with positive reinforcement through practice is a powerful tool.
