Do It or Drop It

There was a discussion in the Personal Development for Smart People Forum going on that asked why we rarely manage to manifest sexual fantasies when in fact we have so many. I vaguely remember that the guy who started this threat had the favorite sexual fantasy of having sex on a galloping horse and he sheepishly admitted that this was probably not likely to happen in his life time.

The reason why fantasies are rarely manifested is because deep down inside we don't believe they will happen. They are a mental vents, an outlet of all our conflicting conscious and subconscious desires. When I followed that discussion I suddenly had an idea: Why don't we come up with a mental Do It or Drop It rule. When you perceive a fantasy in your head you try to figure out a concrete action that you could take to satisfy your desire. If you can't or wouldn't like to bother, well, just drop the thought.
