What if?

How many of us have asked this question? How many of us have so desperately wanted to step back in time and turn another corner.   What if...

It can haunt you if you are living a life you wish had gone differently.   But if you are like me, your “What if” always ends in, “then ---- wouldn’t be in my life” or “I wouldn’t be with ----”.   So you accept the bad with the good. 

What if...  What if goes well beyond what if my team didn’t win the big game.  It’s so much more.  What if you had not read that book?  Or what if you had not been influenced by what others had to say?  What if I had not taken that job?  What if I had decided to follow my heart instead of my head?  What if, usually always comes down to this though...

What if I had not met her?  What if I had not met him?  What if I never met that person.  That what if is what can haunt you a lifetime.  That what if can also mean a lifetime of happiness; all your prayers can be answered. 

But despite any what if, there is one thing you can change.  If you are a happy person, if you are a positive person The worst what if is always overcome by your own ability to be happy and make whatever card you’ve been dealt in life a good one.

There is no what if.  There is only what is.  It is the life you make it.
