Lie to yourself, on the upside. Picture the world you intend to make as doubly wonderful. This will raise your chance of getting the merely wonderful. Samuel Johnson:

(Quoted from page 149 of Powers that Be: Global Energy for the Twenty-First Century and Beyond, by Scott L. Montgomery. The University of Chicago Press, 2010.)
