Worry is just a by-product of an over-stimulated imagination. If you don’t control your mind, your mind will control you. It will run you ragged with worry, fear and anxiety.

Don’t let this happen.

Use your imagination to your advantage. What you want out of your life. What are your goals? Your dreams? Use your imagination and visualize your success. And then DO IT!

Life is too short to worry about anything.

Life demands ACTION. You have to be relentless in your pursuit of success.

Do you want to sell purple popcorn at the mall? Then do it! Finance a giant popcorn machine and pop purple popcorn! Visualize it popping into people’s grubby little mouths.

Park your purple popcorn wagon in front of an overpriced shoe store and pop purple popcorn.

Dare to be BIG. Wear a purple apron. Dye your hair purple. Or better yet, wear a custom-made purple popcorn suit. Wave your purple arms around. Be the best and biggest purple popcorn pusher on the planet.

Be a popcorn maverick. A purple popcorn tycoon. An entrepreneurial madhouse of popped purple kernels.

If you can’t find purple popcorn, invent some. Splice an eggplant with a corn kernel and save the world from mediocrity. Or just dye the popcorn purple with some industrial food color. Just get those damn yellow kernels to pop purple.

Do you think the Wright Brothers stopped at one test flight. If they did, where would we be today? We’d have no delayed flights. No cramped coach seating. No rubber chicken dinners. No kids kicking our seats with their dirty feet. We’d have to walk across the ocean to our luxury resort.

Dare to dream!

And when the worry comes, tell your mind to fuck off.

And then go and pop purple popcorn!
