Here it is that time of year again when it seems to be fashionable to make New Year Resolutions; to restructure scheduled activities or to resolve a problem or two.

“Positive Thinking” seems to be the panacea to the resolution of all problems. Establishing a positive mindset is the main theme of self improvement gurus from Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill and Dale Carnegie to modern day motivational and inspirational proponents.
