I agree.... Positive thinking can obscure reality if the desiree does not act so as to bring the thought to reality....

If someone wants to be whatever it is they want to be....they can be just that....but....they have to work toward it.... They have to act, in support of, in a way that will allow them to reach what it is that they want.... The opportunity will present itself....the challenge is to recognize it and take action.... Because if your thoughts only stay in your mind....they'll never become reality....

Personally....I think most people are afraid to let the universe be in control.... Like when a new opportunity presents itself, most people are skeptical about taking a leap of faith and being positive about the outcome.... I know where I see myself and things have been lining up for me since my teenage years just the way I've wanted them to.... So then why did I say that I let the universe control??? Because the universe makes it possible for me to choose, therefore I'm not in control....I simply have to act in accordance to get what I ask for....

Like the old sayings go, "That's what you get" and "That's what you asked for".... We usually attribute these sayings to people who experience negative outcomes of their actions.... But.... Imagine how powerful these sayings would be if we used them toward positive unbelievable outcomes???
