What if ? ? ?

The words “what if” have been used a lot from a negative or fear based perspective. For example: “what if this goes wrong? Or what if I fail? Or what if it does not work out?” I have had many people tell me to remove these 2 words from my vocabulary and at that time, I had thought that this was GREAT advice! However, some days later, I was contemplating this advice that I was given. I am not someone who just takes advice. I always listen first. If it sounds good, I implement it, but I also think about it much more.  If I had listened to everybody’s advice of the last 29 years, I would be really confused by now! No matter what you hear or read for that matter – keep an open mind and decide for yourself. That way, 2 things happen – 1. You make decisions by yourself and 2. You take responsibility for your life & therefore cannot be a victim of someone else’s bad advice if something happens to go wrong down the line.

So upon contemplation, it dawned on that words are just words – which we give meaning to.  So I thought what if the words “what if” were given positive power and I used it as a tool to create success in my life!? Could it be possible to use these words to open my life to infinite possibilities?

The answer to that question is a 100% YES I CAN. So what I started to do was, every time I heard other people or even myself say “what if” in a negative context, I would counter act it with a positive phrase. For example if someone said to me:

What if it is not possible? I would say what if it is possible?

Say those two phrases aloud. Go on. Say it. Can you feel how different the two are? The former makes you feel small and insignificant while the latter makes you excited and you want to take action.  You cannot deny this.

Words are just words UNTIL we give them power. I have never heard of a Gun killing anyone. Have you? Guns do not fire themselves. It is a tool. A tool that is used to kill, by a PERSON.  Words are tools too. Use them wisely. A person does become what he talks about all day. What are you internally talking about? What are you externally talking about? Thoughts become words, words become actions, and actions become your destiny. So again I ask you, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT today?

Here are some powerful WHAT IF phrases you can use in your life:

What if it is possible?

What if I can?

What if it does work out?

What if they say yes?

What if I do win?

What if they love me?

What if I can do great things with my life?

What if today can be the best day of my life?

What if I can be healed?

What if all my dreams can become a reality?

What if this is happening for my highest good?

 

Have an awesome day!
