Quote:No, this is about the idea that imaging your goals, in and of itself, is what makes them real, which is not just stupid but harmful as an outlook. You on a train track, you can think "survival" and imagine yourself living through it, or you can GET OFF. Which one do you think might realize your goals better?
Somehow I'm not sure if the book actually means for people to go that far with the idea... :)
But yes, actions matter much more than thoughts.
