The Law of Shortsightedness

When circumstances scare us, our imagination tends to take over. You need to gain control of your imagination. A focused mind has no room for anxiety or for the effects of an overactive imagination. The greatest generals stand out not because they have more knowledge but because they can drop their preconceived notions and focus intensely on the present moment. That is how creativity is sparked and opportunities are seized. No amount of thinking in advance can prepare you for the chaos of life - it's all about reacting at the moment.
