We all probably know that in any difficult situation at work and at home a positive attitude helps to resolve the problem and to see alternative solutions and opportunities.
However it's a bit of a truism and a statement of the obvious to "think positively" and it can be both hard to do and to turn from a slightly feel good factor into something of real value and use.
It seems though that there is now some surprisingly clear scientific support the benefits of positive thinking not only in problem resolution but also in adopting a healthier life style. See this link for a good blog on the subject. Research in test groups appears to demonstrate the value for individuals of adopting a can do approach.
So when Henry Ford said "Whether you think you can or you think you can't, you're right." he definitely got it pretty much correct.
