“What if, what if, what if …” These are two words you would be wise to avoid if they engender feelings of fear and dread. The human mind is programmed to build stories after words such as these, for what are words but building blocks which strung together which create scenarios that may or may not be based on Truth. “What if” denotes a future not yet arrived, yet all you are ever sure of is here and now. What if you stay present? What if you notice the peace that comes as you do not fear the future? What if you love yourself enough to focus on the love and peace that are right here right now? What if, indeed.
I used to wonder about ‘what if’s’ more in the past. Now, after reading so many of these posts and other materials, I know to trust all is in perfect order. Yes, sometimes ego jumps in but I’m better at stopping that now. Thank you for this timely message! Brad
