What If

Some of the hardest and most powerful words that we ever say, come in small packages. For example; I can’t, I quit, I’m done, it’s too hard, are just a few powerful phrases that are often uttered in hard and difficult seasons of life. What if, we choose to change what we say? What if we choose to change our attitude and perspective? What if that is all it takes to change the outcome of the situation that we are facing?

What if, instead of focusing on the challenges, difficulties, and negative emotions, we shift our focus or perspective?

One of the best questions to ask yourself, when you start to consider giving up is ‘What if?’ This simple, two-word question can shift the entire dynamic of your situation. The question opens the door to many, better opportunities and potential outcomes. ‘What if’, keeps the dream alive.

Perhaps, what is needed in your situation is change. What if we choose to change our: attitude, perspective, or our approach? What if I just need to change and grow in a few areas? What if I just need to work harder, or more consistently? What if I just need to be a little more disciplined? What if I just need to keep going just a little bit longer? What if? You will not know the answer to that question, unless you choose to see it through.

Do you see the difference? Some statements will permanently close doors. While other questions will keep opportunities open.

What if you were to ask yourself, ‘What if,’ right now? How would that shift and shape your outlook on the situation that you are currently facing? What would change in your life if you chose to ask ‘What if,’ rather than choose to say I’m done? One option closes doors and kills the dream, and one will keep the dream alive. As usual, the choice is yours, which one will you pick?
