Energy follows thought; we move toward, but not beyond, what we can imagine. What we assume, expect, or believe creates and colors our experience. By expanding our deepest beliefs about what is possible, we change our experience of life.

Then, as incidents occur, you may rise to the occasion and look back at the end of your life and feel good about the way you lived.
