What If.....

What if..... two simple words that make us crazy.... how many times a day do ask this question? Sometimes these are bigger what if's ...what if I quit my job...What if I move.....what if what if. we could ask ourselves this question a million times a day especially if you are like me and constantly ask what if.  Many of you reading this have probably already asked yourself at least one what if question. Some of us actually dare to answer the bigger what if's and many of us answer little ones a 100 times a day.... what if I go to see a friend today what if I take 5th home instead of 4th what if I make time to go to the gym.....For those who dare to ask the bigger what if's like what if I quit my job and travel...what if I leave this job to start my own business? most of the time we read about these inspirational stories and often no matter how hard the journey the pay off is big; met with success or at the least a great personal journey of discovery that leads us to something else. So why don't we answer more of these what if questions if most of the time they are met with success? If the pay off is big no matter the journey or it leads to a happier better us then why don't we answer more of these what if's? Are what if questions the gateway to regrets? I feel very optimistic like nothing is impossible and I often sought out what if's and now I don't ......what changed? do you find yourself saying the same thing? What if we all answered more of our What if questions?   the phrase "what would you achieve if you weren't afraid to fail" or something of the like comes to mind right now...... but is that all the what if questions are? Do they just amount to things we wish we were doing? or are they simpler like what if I go to the store now instead of Monday. what if ..... What if's were neither positive nor negative? As you see these things can get quite carried away swirling in a cloud of what if's. This week I think I may try to answer at least one what if everyday..... maybe if I practice I will be bold enough to answer a bigger what if that comes along. How about your thoughts? How about your what if questions?
