Don't spend so much time worrying about "what if" that you miss out on "what is"
"What if" is a game we have all played. It seems the more we dislike our current situation the more we play it. What if I had went to a different school or studied a different major. What if I started playing sports at a younger age or stayed with that person I broke up with. Sometimes we can get so caught up with what we could have done that we don't see the opportunities in front of us. If we could only see the decisions that we made in the past the way we see them now things would be different. The "what if" game doesn't only apply to the past but also the future. What if I win the lottery or get discovered and become a huge celebrity. Dreams are great but if you never take the actions necessary to reach them, a dream may be all they ever are.
There is a saying that states "hindsight is 20 20." The decisions that you made in the past were made for a reason and whether you like it or not you can't go back in time and change them. The thing you have to realize is that the past is the past, but today you have an opportunity to make your future brighter. Today is tomorrows yesterday, and the present is the futures past. Live right now so that in the future you look back and are proud of the decisions you made. Make the "what if" game more than just a game. See your vision for your future and make a plan that will help you to achieve it. I would rather try and fail than fail because I didn't try. Keep your head up, you can do it!
