1. Say "Imagine!" a lot. 2. Listen to "Imagine" a lot - phone all your local radio stations and request it. Contemplate the lyrics. 3. If you get angry or P.O.'d by someone, stop and forgive them. Go on with your life. 4. Either wear black and mess with your hair or dress in your best, look really good, and smile beautifully. 5. Let people wonder what you are up to. If anyone asks, tell them you were imagining peace throughout the world. Do these things every day! In very little time, you'll have developed some very good habits.
