You can work towards the states of mind you mention, but you can't flip them like a switch. Sometimes you can't flip them at all.

I would not say such a thing. Depression is an entirely different matter and a therapist should help you work through those issues. All my comments were geared toward people without special circumstances like that (so my opinion hasn't changed).
