Where we disagree is in our characterization of your above quote. A positive, appropriate mindset plays a role in motivating someone and even, in specific contexts, allowing them to 'do their best.'

I'm sorry to personalize this again, but in your past situation with that chick, I'm certain that with a different mindset 'doing your best' would have been quite different from how you in fact acted.

Mindset matters - even if you don't believe in positive thinking it should be pretty obvious that negative thoughts can f*ck you up. There are plenty of people who seemingly have a lot going for them, and yet despite that they are miserable/self-destructive/continuously failing.

I doubt that some 5 0', deformed & crippled manlet would ever start pulling mad tail if they "had the right mindset", however, I bet ya there are billions of pretty capable people who are not realizing much of their potential, and consequently living loser lives because their negative perspective is holding them back.
