You can change yourself by changing your thoughts.
...and by your actions through speech and body. i.e. by what you say and by what you do as well as the "thinking".
Positive thinkers use faith to gain control of their problems.
Not true. Positive thinkers need more than just "thinking" they need conviction, experience and solid foundation of knowledge. Thinking, doesnt get anyone anywhere. It has little force behind it. We all think about things but it wont get us anywhere without action.
Fear and worry are conquered by practical spiritual methods; meditation and prayer increase vitality of and peace of mind.
Not true. Fear is caused through ignorance as well as worry is caused through ignorance. When we have knowledges, open and aware we have wisdom arising within us. This dissaptes the fears and worries. Correct meditation is a great tool for this but prayer is not necessary. It is just another tool for other things. Only practice in training the mind in awareness, developing wisdom brings peace of mind.
A positive mind leads to improved health and well-being.
Positive thinkers overcome mistakes, forgiving themselves and others.
Not true at all. Positive thinking is simple a means to gain a benefit. mistakes are always made and often the saying goes, "careful what you ask for" because positive thinkers can get themselve sin a pickle. positive thinking doesnt make people altruistic. Neither does it make good people.
The practice of positive imaging instills the courage and confidence to acheive your goals.
Not true at all. Developing an image of the imagination is simply that and can be used for positive reinforcement of the "desire" you wish for but it doesnt necessarily bring courage and confidence. And it certainly doesnt mean you get what you want.
Enthusiasm leads to action.
Not true at all. Couch potatoes have a lot of enthusiasm but it doesnt move them.
Positive attitudes create more enduring and fulfilling relationships.
Not true at all. Positive attitudes can create wonderful Mistresses and Masters, wonderful Walter Mitty life styles. Just depends what your "positive attitude" desires.
Positive thinking is acheivable by all people.
Not true at all. Not everyone has a clear mind.
God always works in the positive, never in the negative.
Not true at all. There are countless thousands of Biblical references of God being a negative, evil arsehole. Killer of nations, genocidal, infantocidal, raper, murderer, vindictive, bully, megiamaniac, et cetera.
