What if. . .
You knew exactly what God wanted for you?
What if. . .
You believed that you could absolutely have it?
What if. . .
You knew your hopes and dreams could come true?
What if. . .
You got up every morning living the authentic life you really want?
What if. . .
You knew how to have a joy-filled life?
What if. . .
You truly believed that no matter what life throws at you, you could overcome it?
What if. . .
You believed in what’s possible?
At a recent networking event, I had a conversation with a young woman who, for all intents and purposes, was living a great life. During our conversation, however, she shared that she just felt like there was something more she should be doing or something else she should be “being.”
I suggested that she try an exercise. She agreed, so, I told her to go to a quiet spot with pen, paper, or her favorite journal, and for 15 minutes or so, dwell in possibility. In other words, I invited her to brainstorm and write down everything she felt would bring more joy and authenticity into her life – without reservation, editing, or self-condemnation.
I checked in with her a few days later and asked her how things were going. She told me she had completed the exercise and had gotten some clarity about what she needed to do next. I ended our conversation by reminding her to believe in her “what ifs” because those things can happen and God’s dreams for your life do come true.
How many of the questions above resonate with you? As I told this young woman when you begin to believe in the “what if’s,” things change and you change. If you’re ready, try the exercise and turn these “what if” questions into, “Yes, I can” statements.
