Thinking about the future, and acting on it, builds strength of character. It is emotionally healthy, counteracting depression, anxiety, and stress. When people have nothing to look forward to, they wither and die. When humans avoid risk, they become insecure. And there is no denying that dreams fuel emotional energy.
Dreams bring passion, enthusiasm, and excitement to life.
Thinking about the future can create good emotional mental health and strong motivational energy. Life seems to be a combination of valid foresight and personal control, as well as accidental occurrences and surprises, both good and bad. Thinking about the future encourages a balance of planning and openness . Planning guides and directs, but doesn't determine. Yet even if plans get repeatedly revised along the way, if plans aren't formulated, usually nothing much happens.
