[Quote No.71137] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[Imagine, plan, satisfaction (in past), anticipation (in future), experience (in present), gratitude (in any and all time frames):-] Man alone is able to manipulate time into past and future, transpose objects or abstract ideas in a similar fashion, and make a kind of reality which is not present, or which exists only as potential in the real world. From this gift comes the social structure and traditions and even the tools with which he modifies his surroundings. They exist in the dark confines of the cranium [imagination] before the instructed hand creates the reality." - Loren Eiseley
As quoted in ‘The Invention of Tomorrow: A Natural History of Foresight’ by Thomas Suddendorf, Jon Redshaw, and Adam Bulley (cognitive scientists).

"[Sleep - as you relax in bed and await sleep and dreams, you can have fun with these and other highly imaginative mental activities and habits:]
1. Relive-review-replay the day - from the moment you awoke to the time you went to bed - in order to re-enjoy it (savoring each sensation and satisfaction, while being grateful that each experience is not worse) and to help you put it into your long-term memory.
2. Anticipate a future positive experience!
3. Imagine-fantasize about an experience - for example taking a trip to a time (in the past, present or future) and place (in the world or outer-space).

[Quote No.71525] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[Learn; Imagine; Persist; Evolve; Progress; Leadership; Children; Conversation; Gratitude; Satisfaction; Enjoyment; -- high anticipation and high expectations:] I have heard from many people that they don’t want to set high goals and have high expectations and anticipate high achievements because they have learned that to do so they would feel the painful bite of disappointment should they fail. So as a defence mechanism to protect themselves from potentially feeling disappointment or failure, they would keep their goals, aspirations and expectations low and thereby avoid feeling let down if things didn’t go as planned. That was certainly my experience too. But I found that the problem with setting low goals and expectations was that this effected my own ambition, motivation, drive, persistence and capacity to push myself beyond my past comfort zones and strive for higher achievements, as well as those around me, including my family, friends and staff. That I and they would then be deliberately settling for mediocrity and not putting in the effort required to even try to reach my and their full potential for their good and the good of all concerned. I also couldn’t see how individuals, families - including children, groups, teams, companies, countries, societies, etc would achieve, advance, improve, grow, evolve (especially self-actualize from Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs) and progress without setting high goals, expectations and role modelling these to and for others. So low expectations as a solution came, I thought, with too high costs to those that used it, including myself and those I cared about. I thought there must be better solution than just either feeling great pressure and disappointment in not meeting the goals or feeling little pressure and not living up to a person’s potential for achievement and happiness. My eventual solution was to set high goals, expectations, role models and to enjoy anticipating reaching these WHEN LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE and trying to be motivated and grow and improve my own and others’ lives. But should I or others not reach those high aspirations I realised that to avoid the feeling of disappointment, failure and unhappiness and becoming demoralised, I and they would need to employ the human ability to not only compare THE PAST AND THE PRESENT with something better and thereby feel bitter, disappointed and frustrated but that at that point and position in a deliberate attempt, intention and goal to feel better, that I and they could and should then deliberately choose to compare THE PAST AND THE PRESENT with something worse, rather than better, and therefore feel encouraged, relieved and gratefully happy that the situation was not worse. Then I and they could feel and encourage themselves and others to be motivated and energized to learn from the experience and try again or for something even better next time. This would then be good for me, those I care about, those I am leading and for society, civilisation and humanity in general." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

"Life is divided into three parts: what was, what is and what shall be. [Past, present and future! In relation to life-skills and the mind, we can use the past to learn what is true and what we need, the future to imagine and plan, and the present to act to create the future we imagined while our experiences along the way evolve our character into hopefully the best version of ourselves. In relation to having fun we can find gratitude that things are not worse in any time period - past, present and future, satisfaction in the past, -anticipation in the future and enjoyable experiences in the present!]" - Seneca

[Quote No.71918] Need Area: Fun > Anticipation
"[Fear usually stands for False Evidence Appearing Real due to evolution’s negativity bias preferring to frighten with false fears than to miss a real threat. This bias had survival benefits in the distant dangerous past but in the safe world of today is more maladaptive than helpful and therefore can beneficially be significantly doubted and rationally disputed. Remember even science has confirmed the age old wisdom that...] Over 90 percent of our worries may never come true, even for chronic worriers." - L. S. LaFreniere and M. G. Newman

"Being positive and optimistic about the future is the rational result of significant experience of our left-over evolutionary negativity bias for a much more dangerous world so most things we fear about the future will not happen and worrying about them beforehand is a waste of precious energy and potential enjoyment. Therefore after preparing only for the most probable potential problems with outsized or unrecoverable outcomes, it is sensible to consider any other fear simply False Evidence Appearing Real." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com
