What if...?

I cannot remember exactly how many times “what if...” stopped me from realizing myself. In the process of making a big desicion, “what if...” appeared suddenly and stalked me. Here are a few sentences that start with very promising desicions but end in negative thoughts, being a captive of WHAT IF...

I will take the TOEFL exam but what if...?

I will open up my business but what if...?

I will marry but what if...?              

I will end my relationship but what if...?

I would like to have a baby but what if...?

After “what if” followed a set of negative sentences, not negative in terms of sentence structure but in terms of meaning. Negative sentences zap the energy of your intentions or plans. What if’s do not serve for any other purpose but consume your positive energy up. When your positive energy is consumed, you accept failure. When the fear of failure takes the control of your thoughts, you never attain your goals. What happens when you do not attain your goals? You know the answer.

In addition to this, what if’s discourage you to dwell in the “NOW” and they do not let you make the most of NOW. They rush you to worry about the future which has not come yet, or which is not yet to come at all – since we do not know whether we will make it to the next moment or not. Enjoy NOW. Seize NOW. Capture the joy of NOW. Embrace the beauty of NOW. It is all about NOW. 

STAY IN NOW & ENJOY IT NOW.
