I don't disagree with this in some cases. But to be a fair, a lot of traits such as negativity and positivity are not choices. Brain chemistry lends to these thinking patterns just as much as environment and willpower in many cases. Not everyone can just make themselves think positively.

I think, perhaps, you've taken it a few inches too far. Certainly brain chemistry allows for deviation from the norm, but I wouldn't say that 'some people cannot make themselves think positively' (implied by not everyone can). It makes much harder, yes, but not physically (or emotionally) impossible. I know of no "disorder" - even bipolar disorder and "clinical" depression which makes happy thought impossible.
