A simple project can be establish to promote this concept. For example, we can generate events that promote positive outlooks to life. What do you think?

I don't remember how I started but in some point I thought that by chenging our way of thinking / talking / acting we can change our world. I start to teach Peak Performance Psychology. in the end of the day I realise that many people has got some sort of fear with this word "CHANGE" ... it is challanging. the Fear of Unknown pushes them away from trying, so does the Fear of Failing. they liked what they got and wanted to stay with that.
but these who wanted to improve something instead of changing had a far better success.
for both groups I had to work hard to chenge the way they express their experiences / wishes and then trying to programm new way of thinking strategies for Peak Performance.
Saying someone "Think positive" or "Be happy" doesn't always help,
one has to show HOW to think positive / be happy and what is the benefit of it.
you all know the book and the documentry "The Secret". a nice envelop to sell. it's full of positive thinking ideas but
how much of it comes from the author herself, is a big question.. to me it was all famous people's quotes but nothing else. I call it: "Psychology made easy" so nothing was secret.
My point is that positive thinking can't always help you, but realistic thinking will get your much further,
because we simple don't think positively and all manifastes right in front of us. we have to do more than just thinking.
we have to express it, we have to act on it, we might fail, but each time we fail we get up and try again and again till we get it. (I used "have to" but it's all up to us if we choose to do X, because there is nothing we have to do)
many positive thinkers, motivational speakers, coaches give (teach) us new way of thinking strategies, but if we don't apply them then we can't expect anything to be changed. as you know:
Knowledge is Power if we use it.
