In practice, I'm a bit of a fatalist. That's the best word that comes to mind, though it's not a perfect fit. It's not just feeling that events are predetermined/inevitable, it's also feeling that various events close off entire huge possibilities, that minor things are Dooming or Damning. (I suppose I don't believe that things are predetermined by Fate in the abstract, godlike sense, just that things are predetermined by past events. Which is true to some extent.)
In theory, I'm all about the Power of Positive Thinking and all of that stuff.
Oh, that disconnect between theory and practice. It's a killer sometimes.
