I believe you can influence your moods and thought processes with it, thereby making lemonade.
I am more of a believer in group think as far as destiny and fate.
I can be positive my marriage will work, but it takes my wife to also be positive to truly make it work.
I can try to better my community, my state, my country, my world and believe things will get better, but it takes the people in those places to also believe, in order for that betterment to become a reality.
Therein lies the problem because the reverse can also happen.
If enough people believe Revelations for example, then they will put forth the effort and set in motion Armageddon and it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. In other words, if people are fed enough "bad news" and they believe the worst, they will set in motion those events so that the worst will happen.
Yet, within that framework, enough people believing that change can happen, can change the results before the final bell.
We are individuals and free, BUT we touch, react and affect each other. Since my realty ends when another person enters the room, and a new shared realty starts. I can only hope our realities can coexist peacefully and in a productive manner. I can set into motion those positive opportunities but if the other reality is negative and does not accept those then problems can arise.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
