From the Quotation of the day mailing list 2014-10-29:

"Positive thinking fools our minds into perceiving that we've already attained our goal, slackening our readiness to pursue it." -- Gabriele Oettingen, professor of psychology and author of "Rethinking Positive Thinking: Inside the New Science of Motivation."

While I agree that it is important, crucial, even, to focus on positive solutions to our problems, it is also true, and overlooked. Focusing only on thinking positively often allows a lazy overlooking of the work required to change bad situations, or the struggle that must be done to achieve full justice.
