What if

On their own as words, what and if are completely non-threatening, but put them together and they have the power to haunt you for the rest of your life.
What if, what if, what if. Instead of going with our instincts on something, we often hold back and this is then the question that we're left with.
Another way these two words together become threatening is when they're used to encourage our worrying about the future.
What if I do this...? What if I don't do this...? Don't think about it! Just do! We're told this all the time but do we ever listen? No, we only have one life... sure this can be argued by different religions but most of us believe this yes? So instead of wasting precious moments pondering whether do something or not, if you have a good feeling about it then go for it. There might be a voice inside your head that's telling you all the 'What if...' situations but shut it up! Make the 'what if' a 'when' ... When I do this, this will happen. That turns it into a definite thing instead of something that might or might not happen.
Make sense?
