I took a search on Youtube of self affirmations, and here's one of the video's I found. This along with a vast amount of video's claiming that, "if you watch this every morning you will be able to feel it working within your life and you will start to do better." So to repose the question of the question at hand...
-Can watching this video really help you do better in life?
Haha this is great. I definitely do not think that watching a Youtube video of quotes about having a positive attitude will bring much of an achievement to anything, although I thought it was really interesting how so many famous and intelligent people have been quoted saying that attitude is positively correlated with success. To me, this myth falls under the "Seeing What We Want To See" fallacy from Gilovich. I believe that people want to find an easy fix (like having a positive attitude in daily tasks) to perfecting themselves and their lives.
