Agatha Christie

Simplified Meaning:

When you control your imagination and use it to help you, it can be very useful. For instance, when you imagine solving a problem at work or coming up with a new idea, your imagination is working well for you. However, if your imagination takes over and you can't stop worrying about things that might go wrong, it becomes a problem. Imagine a child who gets scared thinking there are monsters under the bed; their imagination is making them feel bad and scared. So, it’s important to use your imagination in positive ways, like planning for the future, but not let it make you anxious or afraid of things that aren’t real. This way, you can benefit from your imagination without letting it control you.
