What if I had stuck to my normal routine. What if I had taken a different route to go to school. What if I had trained a bit harder. What if I studied more for that exam. What if aliens came down and landed on Earth. What if the moon exploded and unicorns roamed the Earth like humans.
We all have the tendency to "what if" ourselves into oblivion. Questioning our choices, ideas, or actions. Why do we do this? Well, we were hoping for a different outcome. We were hoping by a simple action on our behalf, that things would be different. Yet, here we are. With everything out of our control. What is done is done. So why torture ourselves with the pain of the unknown? Often times, when feeling out of control we think of these things. Marinating in these negative thoughts and comments about how we chose to do things. Do not get me wrong. Self-reflection is the key to all success however, sometimes enough is enough. My roommate, Mandy, said to me, "control the controllable". Not always are we able to change things, we wish we're different. We cannot wish more on things we cannot control. We cannot go to the past to refurbish what once was. It simply is, now. Think of these moments as opportunities for growth. An opportunity for us to take a situation that is usually undesirable and make it better. Pushing forward even when it feels the hardest. Opening our thoughts to the present rather than looking at the past. Because the best standard for change, is not letting your past self define who you are today. Things happen, events that are set-backs and push-forwards, but why sit somewhere that time has already moved away from you? Whatever decision you made, is a reflection on your thought process then, not now. Prosperity is key, choose prosperity, always. Take life by the horns, and run with it, because what if things are brighter just a few steps away? With love, Bre
