Those "what ifs" can be extremely outrageous, like "what if I spontaneously grew a second nose", they can even be very simple, like "what if it rains today".
Personally, I love entertaining the outrageous and spontaneous what ifs that invade my mind.
When I look at my life and the way that I think, I usually notice that almost every single one of my thoughts starts with what if.
So what do you think of what if questions?
Do they scare you?
Do they thrill you?
Do you ignore them?
Do you crave them?
Encourage them?
What about sharing them? Or do you keep them to yourself?
When the first snow fall of the year happens, and you have that urge to go outside and cherish it, most people will go outside. I am the kind of person who stands outside waiting for the first snow fall.
So, when it comes to ifs, I am the exact same way. 90% of my time is spent thinking of alternative situations or even fantasies.
I love exploring the unknown, as long as the unknown remains in my head. If I was to face any number of my ifs, I would run in the other direction. Although I do love using my imagination, it will stay just that, my imagination.
But, I will always look forward to each new question.
What about you? What do you think of if questions? Have you ever tried to live them through? or are you like me, and you just keep them and their (im)possibilities in your mind?
