Fantasies are more than substitutes for unpleasant reality; they are also dress rehearsals, plans. All acts performed in the world begin in the imagination. - - Barbara Grizzuti Harrison
Our minds mold who we become. Our thoughts not only contribute to our achievements, they determine the posture of our lives. How very powerful they are. Fortunately, we have the power to think the thoughts we choose, which means our lives will unfold much as we expect.
The seeds we plant in our minds indicate the directions we'll explore in our development. And we won't explore areas we've never given attention to in our reflective moments. We must dare to dream extravagant, improbable dreams if we intend to find a new direction, and the steps necessary to it.
We will not achieve, we will not master that which goes unplanned in our dream world. We imagine first, and then we conceive the execution of a plan. Our minds prepare us for success. They can also prepare us for failure if we let our thoughts become negative.
I can succeed with my fondest hopes. But I must believe in my potential for success. I will ponder the positive today.

As long as they don't require computer generated segments - or the participation of anyone else. Too often, we rely on the behavior of others to complete our dreams, without them having had the benefit of being included in our thinking process, thus leaving them ignorant of how they should perform.
Self reliance will only carry you as far - as the next person.

That depends on what kind of difference you intend to make., doesn't it? Evil and hurtful thinks make a difference too, not just the good things you might do.

Fantasies can also be defined as goals..What we fantasize about often acts as a motivator to achieve it.........

One could almost say faith is vision.
