"A lot of people have a vision board or repeat mantras. Some believe, 'If I just think optimistically and look at images of myself succeeding, I will create a pathway to success because I'll remain engaged in the goal.' That's not true."
"According to Oettingen's research, when you create positive fantasies, you begin to believe you've actually done things to pursue your goals. In fact, it's just you fantasizing about an outcome."
"Another pitfall of being overly optimistic is that you're often not looking for obstacles along the path and the skills you'll need to overcome them... They had a phrase, 'Premeditate the evils that are coming.'"
