Positive thinking, to me, does not itself induce any changes upon the world, but it can enable some people to establish the motivation necessary to change aspects of their own life, oftentimes for the better.
Example: Instead of sinking into a harmful depression with substance abuse after discovering that your girlfriend has dumped you for the pool boy, realize that you were just relieved of someone in your life who did not love you enough to stay, but loved you enough not to cheat during your relationship. She enabled you to move on, now get off your ass and do it!
Positive Thinking --> Energy/Motivation to Change --> Change --> Life Improvement --> Happiness
