What do people really mean?

What do people mean when they say this phrase? A meaning that can be interpreted through this saying is that, "All you need is positive affirmation!" It seems as if when this is said, it is being taken as mindset change being the only change needed to be made. As it was said in the websites, just this positive mindset can change your life and make a bigger effect than you ever imagined. It seems like it is considered by the masses to be the same exact way. The concept seems to be surrounded by the words “all you need” but is it really? A more popular example of this seems to be in this situation:

                “You’re sitting there underprepared for a show you’re about to put on, and you can’t help but feel nervous about what the results will be. Whether or not you will be able to remember everything, whether or not you will be able to make the crowd love it. If you mess up, you know it will be your fault. Someone walks by and then tells you, “Just say you can do it, and you can.” You step out on stage with a positive attitude, feeling like you will be able to do everything regardless of your under preparedness.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but it almost seems like we’ve all been in a situation like this before. Whether it be for a school play, a musical performance, a project, etc..
