The Power of What If

My wonderful coach often says to me, "what if?"

What if X is not true?
What if you COULD do that?
What if you did do that (the thing you don't want to do)?
What if you're assuming something that isn't true?

What if you're right?
What if you're wrong?
What if it just doesn't matter?

Essentially the use of "what if" has made me look at situations differently and then react differently to them than I otherwise would have.

It's a powerful thought, that of "What if."

It's a very helpful tool. You can ask my friends -- I'm great now at "what iffing" them. :)
