Yet positive thinking has proven to be better for your mental and emotional state, helps you heal faster, and actually helps you succeed because you're looking for opportunities instead of ignoring them, as well as actually trying those opportunities instead of talking yourself out of it.

It's not a fallacy to try to think positively, it's a scientifically proven tactic.

Yeah, you gotta know when to fold em, but saying that thinking you can do something is the same as a gamblers fallacy is a false dichotomy.
