HappyLove (Sonja Lyubomisrsky) has suggested clowns could cultivate optimism by visualizing their best possible future selves.
As you know, Micko believes it is possible to create a world in which all clowns are happy, fulfilled, and enjoying Love with all other clowns.
But Micko’s experience is that most clowns don’t think this is possible.
So this section is about cultivating an optimistic worldview by visualizing our best possible future world.
