when I was 5 whenever I thought hard enough whatever I imagined would get beaten like a cartoon character while I was thinking. I got mad and stopped imagining things. This is not a joke.
Imagination is a superpower, but it costs happiness to use it. That's why it's good to have a balance. Instead of thinking yourself into the future, act natural, do what feels right, and learn from all sources. Then, use your imagination to connect the dots between all the things you've experienced personally.
