The Power of Daydreaming

By Anthony Cullen

Daydreaming is extremely pleasant for both positive and negative folk. We all do it. Oh, boy! In his daydreams the self-pitying clerk inherits a fortune, quietly buys the company, and walks in one day to give a Bronx salute to his hated boss and tell him he's fired by the new owner - the clerk, no less.

Indeed, Roy Howard was once upon a time a poor newsboy selling the Indiana Times in the streets. Then one day he had made enough money to buy the paper for cash.

On another note, there is the vain daydreams of Dolly Dizzystep. She imagines having a date with that most-handsome-guy-in-town, who arrives to pick her up in his spanking new white Cadillac.

He presents her with diamond jewelry and flies with her off to Dreamland in his private jet airplane. Actually, though, there was once a miner's daughter who got married to a millionaire.

Every man can be a superman in his daydreams. Every woman can be whatever women want most to be in her daydreams. Amazingly enough, like Roy Howard and the miner's daughter, there are many men and women who do make their dreams come true in full or in great part.

Many, many more - and this may well include you - can make their dreams come true if their desire is strong enough. Men and women who develop the positive attitude are the ones who transform their dreams into reality.

Those who stolidly practice the negative attitude condemn themselves to a life of unrealized dreams. They fail to recognize that man's infinite capacity to fool himself makes wishful thinking without positive action more damaging than all the opiates and the hard liquors of the ages.

There are two distinct types of daydreamers: The positive daydreamer, who takes action to gratify his wishes, who takes definite steps to turn dreams into reality, who tackles his problem in particular, will get results. The negative type who doesn't act, will not. - 16890
