Work with reality

Fantasy and imagination are fun and useful. Ultimately, however, reality is your workspace, where you get good things done.

Reality can be brutal and unforgiving. Yet within reality you can learn to find and utilize an endless supply of value.

You can dream and imagine far beyond the confines of reality. Then you can do the challenging, rewarding work to move your own reality in the direction of your dreams.

It can be easy to assume that reality is the enemy. What’s much more useful is to recognize reality as the truth, to understand its truth, and to work within its bounds.

For reality delivers not only difficulties and constraints. Reality is also full of ways to resolve the difficulties and to support you as you successfully move forward.

Rather than cursing the demands of reality, acknowledge them, understand their value, and learn to work with them. Grant yourself access to the great opportunities with which reality is always filled.
