Answer 1

I think it does influence things that do occur in your life.  

Answer 2

Yes, negative thoughts set you up for failure, and your mind will automatically do negative things. If you think positive, your more likely to have positive experiences. You may not get everything you want, but just by thinking positive, it will not affect you as much. Dont get upset if you were thinking positive and it whatever you wanted didnt happen, then that will make you think negatively in the future.

Answer 3

I love Dr. Kwack's answer. Thinking positive will probably lessen your fear of failure,  and you'll be more open to at least trying to succeed. Negative thoughts do not cause negative things to happen to you unless they make you do things that cause negative things to happen to you. Unless your positive or negative thoughts are influencing your actions,  they probably won't have much affect on your life,  just how you perceive it. HOWEVER,  if you find that your actions are influenced by your thoughts,  I would highly recommend thinking positively.

Answer 4

Only in the way that if you think positively you'll probably have a better outlook on life and be more able to go out and get stuff done.

Not that Law of Attraction c**p.

Answer 5

Your negative thinking is stinking thinking.  Think positive and Praise the Name of the Lord.

Answer 6

Very well could be the case.  It's referred to as self-fulfilling prophecy.  You tell yourself over and over in your head - I can't do this, I am going to fail, I am no good, and those things will actually turn out to happen.  That is why negative thoughts and negative self-talk are so harmful.  

Answer 7

think of "positive" as "confidence". they more you are of both, better things will happen.
