I believe this to an extent. Where people go wrong is they start thinking they can just sit around and dream all day and things will happen. That's not how it works. You think positive, you dream big, you set big hairy audacious goals, and then you WORK (take action) toward achieving those goals.
The 'positive thinking' is simply fuel to keep the action going in the right direction.
