"What if...?"

This time i wanna share about a question that many people tend to avoid, or they inquire but give a negative statement into this question "what if...?"

I received a mail on my fb account about that topic last week "What if..?" and it really encouraged me to change the statement of my question.

 Many people have dreams, their life dreams but prone to be afraid to make a step forward because thier focus only on answering this question “what if i fail..?”

Very little people who have dream would challange themselves to answer “what if i am successful?”

None ever thought that by inquiring negative thing to themselves, they have directly killed so many possible steps that might come. Some of us dont want to ask positive thing because we dont want to get hurt by our high expectation. Or some say that just stay on the earth, dont fly too high unless you fall.

Yes, falling down from the highest place is too hurt but (again) what if that assumption was wrong..what if you didnt fall? what if the wind makes your wings bring you higher and higher till you you reach the highest point? Doest it mean you would never expreience the highest point because of the fear of having the highest expectation.

I watched a talk show on metro tv. They were discussing about having an expectation. They interviewed some handicapped men who had been very succesful regardless of their shortcomings. One question came to the handicaaped man regarding of his decision to enter public school not “Sekolah Luar Biasa” which is intended for them. He said “the greater problem or challenge, the greater my expectation for reaching my dream.”.

I believe this man must have put possitive statement in his “What if”, if not he might have given up at all. None knows what will follow.. success and failure are the parts of life but they cannot be the reason for you to stop having a greater expectation.

Having the greater one by asking “what if i am succesful?”, what if i pass the fist step?

There’s always a possibility in everything. So stop killing your dream by asking ‘what if i fail?” because God who holds your future in His hands says

 “FOR SURELY THERE’S A HEREAFTER, AND YOUR HOPE WILL NOT BE CUT OFF.” Proverb 23:18

Stay blessed,
