Imagination rules over two thirds of the universe, the past and the future, while reality is confined to the present

“Imagination rules over two thirds of the universe, the past and the future, while reality is confined to the present.” – John Paul Richter
I find many people treat the future as more real than the present. They let it rule their lives by the anxiety and fear that not knowing what it will bring instills in them.
But it is just as legitimate to imagine a perfectly fine future as it is to imagine a depressing one. Either way you are thinking about possibilities not true realities so why not have your brain filled with what you want in the future instead of what you fear?
