Imagine this. You've got this huge dream you just turned into an exciting accomplishment. You had a huge problem you turned into a beautiful masterpiece. You had a giant obstacle you formed into a personal triumph, and now….., you give a long stare at your prized possession and say, ain't that just
cat's pajamas.There's Just One Problem!
That's not way most people imagine. Yep, most people imagine thing falling all apart. They put their "imaginer" in reverse and see all sorts of doo-doo falling on them. Why do they do that? Here is one observation.
They have never been told by someone or told themselves to do otherwise. Now wait a minute before you grab remote control. Think about this. What did you do in first paragraph? Did you imagine all kinds of doo-doo falling on you? NO! Why? Because I told you what to imagine.
Now, if you did like I asked you to, you imagined some wonderful incident in your life and how that would play out if all those wonderful things happened. And, it made you feel terrific. So, it stands to reason, if we would imagine all kinds of wonderful things happening, at beginning of an opportunity, similar results would happen.
Things tend to play out in reality way they play out in our imaginations. The exact specifics of any situation may not look just like they did in our imagination, but, end result is imagined conclusion.
For example; I remember when I was a young teenage boy. I had a crush on a girl that I wanted a date with so bad. I imagined that there was no chance for me cause she was soooo… beautiful. I imagined that she would laugh at me if I even looked like I wanted to ask her for a date.

Well, somehow I managed to get up nerve to ask her for a date next Friday night. Now mind you, all that week I was imagining her telling me, in one of our classes, that she had to cancel. So, I tried my best to avoid her whole week. But, she didn't cancel.
You know what she did? Yep; she stood me up. I was too afraid to call during week to confirm date because I didn't want her to tell me she couldn't go. So, I just show up at her house at prescribed time and her father tells me she went out with girls.
Well, dummy me, I said, do you know what time she'll be back? He laughed and said, no. Here's point. The details didn't play out exactly way I had imagined them, but end result was just what I imagined; no date with miss beautiful.

Well, as it turned out, she stood me up because I avoided her during week and she thought I forgot or changed my mind because I didn't remind her.
Our imaginations can cause us to feel thrill of triumph, or, feeling of getting caught with our pants down. Here is another scenario for you. When I started my second online business, I did a lot of research to determine what roadblocks there would be and how much competition I had to deal with.
