What if I change my Perspective?
What if things don’t end up like they are supposed to, the energy I have invested through my life doesn’t pay off, I stay average, my story was never meant to be unique, nobody cares, people laugh, point and put me down?
What if I try, fail, friends stop calling, I let my family down, people don’t like what I have to say, my idea is to "out there" and I am pushing far too quickly making others confused and uncomfortable?
What if the worst possible scenario happens, I lose everything, success is for someone else, I am meant to work pay bills, sleep and the idea of something greater is too much for me?
What if I was a born follower, I never find happiness, I don’t choose the right path, I get lost, I will never be as good as the next person and a life of meaning is something I will always stare up at, wishing and dreaming?
OR ... WHAT IF I CHANGE MY PERSPECTIVE AND THE WAY I LOOK AT THE WORLD?
What if I KNOW that today is just the beginning, that I decide every day who I am going to be and become it. That my actions can create a ripple effect that will transcend space and time?
What if I KNOW that impossible isn’t fact, it is an opinion and I don’t buy it, I can be someone for people look up too, my past got me here but has no effect on my future and where I can go?
What if every single day is a fresh start, I can be the one who defies the odds, my dreams become the standard, my ideas change how people see reality and the term difficult is nothing more than a copout.
What if my doubters ignite the raging inferno inside me that is my success, and my fear of mediocrity overcomes my fear of the unknown, only ever really existing, and not really living is far worse than the fear of death itself?
What if second place is no longer an option, I make the choice to live every second of my life like it is a miracle, that is exactly what every second is, and that it is time to start living like it?
What if nothing good happens until I really believe it?
What if I stop wasting my time convincing others as I am the only one who must be convinced?
What if I see social media for the bullshit it is, and use it as a stage to overcome my own fears and insecurities, instead of caring about likes and opinions of those being held back by their own issues that they are projecting on to me?
What if KNOW that I can get over all obstacles in life as I know that I have been sick, financially and emotionally broke, broken-hearted, betrayed, lied too, beaten, homeless, jobless, loveless, destitute, rejected, isolated, without parents and at the edge of my sanity. I still made it here and am exponentially better equipped to deal with all that again if required in the future.
What if I just take Action and GO FOR MY DREAMS?
WHAT IF ... can be the most limiting state of mind or the most inspiring thought process ever constructed to change my life and the world around me. Perspective Matters. I matter, you matter, and everyone with a dream matters.
