The Conditional Use Of “What If”

What If

A friend once wrote to me years ago asking for my thoughts on the use of “what if” statements.

The answer I have now is much better than the one I gave back then.

It’s very simple.

If the “what if” statement makes you feel good or better or smart… then it’s okay to use it.

What if your project works?

What if people give you a standing ovation?

What if you hit a road bump in your timeline? What then?

For some (you?), it’s best to remove the “what if” statement from your vocabulary because the default setting is to consider worst case scenarios until you scare yourself to stand back.

What ifs are an easy way to voice your dreams, motivate yourself, and keep you feeling good about your next decision… if you let it.
