Sometimes our mind, whether justifiably or unjustifiably, fixates on all the negative “what-ifs,” preventing us from moving forward and filling us with insecurities and fears —often irrational ones—trapping us in mental cages of our own making, leading to self-sabotage and inaction. Perhaps, because of past negative experiences, we’re afraid to trust again, with the result that we don’t even give ourselves a chance to meet new people.
But why don’t we think about all those positive “what ifs”? What if it’s worth it? What if they don’t intend to toy with your emotions? What if they don’t intend to hurt you? What if they’re one of those rare people who, if you’re worth it, will stay by your side? What if they don’t lie or play games? What if they mean what they say and back it up with actions? What if the answer is yes? What if they feel the same way about you, but are just too shy to make the first move? What if they love you? What if they love you just the way you are, exactly for who you are?
If you don’t take a chance, how will you ever know? If you don’t take that step, how will you ever know…? If you don’t take a little risk, how can you ever be sure? Hiding in the “closet,” however, certainly won’t help you. Nor will worrying about “what people will say”…
