Do have and “what if’s” in your life? What is you had made a different choice? What if you had left 10 minutes earlier? What if you had said something nice?
Life can be full of “what if’s”. In fact the “what if’s” can drive you crazy if you let them. The most troubling “what if’s” are the ones that occurred in the past. The past is over. You simply can not go back and change the past, so dwelling on the “what if’s” of the past is damaging to your future.
Instead, try focusing on the “what if’s” of your future.
What if you re-defined your life? What if you re-defined what you believed is possible? What if you made that extra call, sent that extra letter, or made that extra effort?
What would happen to your life if you focused on the “what if’s” of your future, then moved them over to the “why not” category and finally placed them in the “I must do it now” column?
How would that look?
