All the websites out there that encourage a positive mindset are not harming anybody, but we can all take into account that having a positive mindset isn't the only thing that we need. This is the thing that is most often misunderstood in the perpetuation of the myth. The myth itself encourages self affirmation as the ONLY thing that you need, but fails to take into the context of various different situations. While we can not conjure a phrase that captures the essence of every situation we can still recognize a better way to say it.
I stated earlier that a better way to say it would be to say that, “A positive self affirming attitude draws more self encouragement and improve the way that you look at the situation.”
The misunderstanding that is portrayed in the “Little Engine That Could” is that it is not a realistic situation that pertains to our everyday lives. Since then we have only have only taken the phrase “I Think I Can” to mean anything. The phrase in itself can be very misleading because it does place any emphasis on the action that is necessary for you to take in order to accomplish the goal at hand.
