What if one of the secrets of this life was to imagine it how I want it to be?

What if when I felt myself sinking into despair or worry or terror, I sat myself down and took a few deep breaths and began to focus in the direction of how I want things to be?

What if all it took to shift my thinking was to say, “Wouldn’t it be nice if…” or “Each day I grow closer to…” and soon I arrived at my destination of peaceful thinking and a peaceful life?
