Changing What If

"What if" can be a very powerless phrase when followed by the common perception that things could have been different. What if I had done this instead? What if I had never...? But can we changed our "what ifs" to have power? I believe we can. By rewording our "what ifs" and using them to inspire change we can create a more powerful mindset. What if I achieved my dreams? What if I took this one scary step today toward my bigger goals? What if I believed anything was possible? By changing "what if" to apply to today and our future wellbeing we can challenge ourselves to keep moving forward and going after the things we want. But "what if" is not the end. We have to accept that challenge! What if I believe all things are possible? Well let's try that on. I will practice believing and catching thoughts that do not support that belief. What if I took this next step toward my dreams? Then do it! Try and see what happens. 
I'm grateful for the persistence to continue working toward my dreams. I'm grateful to try to keep my "what ifs" positive and encouraging. I'm grateful to release any "what ifs" that do not serve my higher purpose; that question the past or pretend to know better than I did in that moment. I'm grateful to believe. I'm grateful for the magic and beauty I see in this world. And I'm so grateful for all of you that share this world with me.
What if you believed you could do anything? What if you had the courage to reach your goals even when you couldn't see the path? What if you followed your heart today? I believe in you. May your only "what ifs" be encouragement and opportunity. May you see your amazing strengths and honor them. Have a beautiful day!
