Life Changing Mindset

Positive Thinking!? Ok this is something I haven't quite gotten the grasp of... like everyone I know always says t hink positive and good things will happen... the way you think about life and circumstances affects the outcome of whats to happen a great deal... is that really true? Alot of people say positive thinking has worked and made things happen the way they want to... but for some reason I can't do it... i'll be positive and hopeful for like two days and if I dont see any change ill start freaking out like oh my God ok so this just isnt meant to be etc. etc... and then i get depressed cuz I think my pessimism is gonna make life even crazier... so what exactly is the trick? How do you have such strong hope for life and things without letting in to doubts or whatever? I know its a little ambiguous the way i wrote it but if anyone understands please help me out. Thanks

How to graduate from therapy when I disagree with my therapist on positive thinking? I've been in therapy for about the past 6 months. I didn't have a job when I graduated college and not having a job and not being able to find one made me feel depressed and anxious. So I went to a therapist. Now, I'm working at a good job and will soon start a great promotion that will take me to the state capital. Now, I don't feel depressed or anxious and I want to graduate from therapy. But here is the problem: My therapist believes in "positive thinking," and I don't. Maybe that makes me a pessimist. If so, oh well. But I don't believe in thinking "things will work out," because in many cases and for many people they don't. I think that right now things look likely to work out for me personally. But I think blindly believing that things will work out is what leads people to speed, use drugs, and engage in generally risky behavior ... that I think is the true insanity. Should I just lie to her and tell her I believe? I'm kind of frustrated.
