To "think" is to latch onto thoughts.
Thoughts are singular. A thought latched onto and stretched over a period of time is the act of "Thinking".
To think positively, is to not think at all; because to think anything is to satisfy your doubts.
Take any thought that you have and everytime it's source will be born from a doubt.
Every thought is to satify your doubts that tell you "Yes you are good looking", "Yes, this is how to act to gain acceptance "Yes you are eating the right kinds of food"; if you have no doubts, you wouldn't be thinking. You'd just be looking good, gaining acceptance and eating food".
So if I see a beautiful girl, and I think "She's beautiful", it's to satisfy my doubts that tell me "Your attraction towards this female is acceptable", but if I see a girl and I look and admire her, it's because I'm not thinking at all.
If I'm too scared to go and talk to the girl and think "She won't even like me", it's to satisfy the doubts that tell me "I have a reason to not talk to her", but if I don't think at all I'd be ignoring my doubts and reacting perfectly to the situation.
Look at the title of my thread. To call the title "A proverb of my own", is to satisfy my doubts that tell me "You have something profound to say".
Thinking is to satisfy your doubts. This is true with every thought (from what I've examined so far), so cut back on the thinking.
