There are many theories and questions that revolve around two little words.... "What if?" What if I had done this or not done this. People, myself included, spend way too much of their lives dwelling on these two small words. I know for myself, I wonder what would have happened if I had acted out.... done things differently. What if I had picked a different college, a different major, different friends.... there are so many questions that just lead to more questions. My life would be much less complicated if it were illegal to put 'What' and 'If' together in a sentence.
Please don't take this out of context, I am completely content with my life.... but what if I had made other choices, would I be discontent, would I be just as happy as I am now.... maybe I'd be happier. I spend way too much time dwelling on these things... as I am sure many other people do as well... Can I get an Amen? I have found it easier to live by this philosophy.... It couldn't have happened any other way?
I still wonder and fantasize about what my life would be like if I had chosen option b or c... instead of option a, however, I have come through my faith to truly believe that everything happens with a set purpose, at a set time, for set reasons. I don't believe that I always know these reasons... although I wish so badly that I did. However, holding this belief has made it easier to get through the day without looking down and thinking about my What if's and If only's.
Not only does it make me able to go through the day with a few less curiosities, it also gives me a sense of purpose. I was put here FOR A REASON, as were you and everyone else in the world. What is that reason.... I'm not sure yet, but it will be a lot easier to find out if I'm not constantly wondering what could have happened if my life had taken a different route.
