The future deserves more imagination than catastrophe alone.

Imagining the future is a real capacity, and fear tends to monopolize it. If the only detailed pictures you hold are of things going wrong, you have used a genuine power in one direction only, and your sense of what is coming becomes lopsided. Better outcomes deserve the same level of detail.

Spend some time imagining a good version of your next year with the same specificity you give to your worries. Notice how rarely you do this. The detail is what makes a possibility feel real enough to work toward.
