What if?

There are moments that I find myself continuously questioning everything in my life, down to the minute details of my day to day. Things so mundane like, what if the bus is late, what if I don’t meet a work KPI, what if the lockdown gets extended, what if the roof falls down, what if, what if, what if. It can be exhausting because usually the things that are questioned are the perceived “bad” things. The things that we fear could go wrong and potentially impact us tremendously. Is this conditioning? Are we taught only to question the bad things, the unhappy things, the consequences, the things that we fear could happen? I say yes!

As children most people are taught to fear the unknown, told things like “no Johnny don’t jump in the lake because you’ll catch a cold and get very sick which then means you won’t be able to…”, cause and effect, action and consequence, In so doing removing the childish wonderment of “anything could happen” However, what if little Johnny jumps in the lake and doesn’t get sick? what if he jumps in the lake, you jump too and you both have the time of your life?

Even the definition of the phrase “what if” in the Cambridge dictionary literally states “what if, is used to ask about something that could happen in the future, especially something bad” But WHY does it have to be something bad? Why can’t we question the possibility of something amazing happening in the future? Why are we ultimately conditioned and taught to notice the negative, the bad things and told to set out plans for every possible scenario or conversation that in all likelihood will never actually happen? I think a change of mindset and consciousness is in order here.

I believe that it is definitely ok to ask “what if?” Yet I think it is very important to ask the positive “What if’s” about the possibilities of the future. To ask what if all my dreams come true? What if I do succeed, what if I will get that job, house, partner? Of course these things may not all happen and usually don’t at the time we want them to but what’s to say that they never will? Isn’t that one of the beauties of life? That anything can happen? That’s where the excitement lies. Imagine if we knew what was going to happen in the future, wouldn’t that remove the drive for more? Wouldn’t we be stagnant? Don’t be afraid of the “What if’s”, trust the process.

I urge you to be more conscious and aware of your thoughts, pause once in a while and ask yourself, are my thoughts and actions bringing me closer to my goals? Spend your energy wisely! Invest in yourself and the things that add value to your path. Focus energy on what will allow you to align your vibration to the life you want and deserve. Above all else Wildlings I wish for you to lead with love and leave the world, people and higher consciousness better than you found them

Love and Light
