The Magic of "What If"

Personal Development

What if you woke up tomorrow and went to work not just to pay the bills, but to make a difference? What if you decided right now to start doing something that gives your life meaning? You know, I can't guarantee the outcome, because there are too many variables to the equation of life. But, I can guarantee these two things: (1) if you keep using "what if" to your disadvantage, you'll keep getting regrets; (2) if you start using "what if" in your favor, you'll start collecting dreams.

The magic of "what if" is that it can be a catalyst to a hopeful future, or it can be the hindrance to a life well lived. We all hold the same capacity to consider what our lives would look like on the upside of that common question. We each have a choice in how we piece together every question we ask ourselves that follow the precursor of those two little words. My suggestion for you is to begin using "what if" more optimistically. 

What if you wrote the song...
What if you took the class...
What if you moved to the city...
What if you joined the church...
What if you proposed to the girl...
What if you made the call...
What if you applied for the job...
What if you went on the mission trip...
What if you started the business...
What if you read the book...
What if you adopted the child...
What if you made the apology...
What if you tried out for the play...
What if you believed in yourself...
What if you traveled the world...
What if you got uncomfortable...
What if you learned a new language...
What if you did something you've never done before...
What if you had childlike faith...
What if you became a multi-millionaire...
What if you asked for help...
What if your wildest dreams did come true...
What if you surprised yourself with what you could actually do...
What if it did work out...

One small tweak in what you place after "what if" could be the change that sends your live to a new level. I'm not saying I'm right, but what if I were? 

Love you guys. Let's grow.

My lovely wife, Jaala, answered a big "what if" question in her life. The answer to that question has pushed her to live a life on purpose and for a purpose much greater than herself. It's one of the many reasons why I adore her as much as I do.
