Boon or bane–the “what if” game. A writer spins a story around that small phrase, “what if”. It sounds like the fall from a cliff was an accident, but what if he was pushed? In her will, she left everything to her niece, but what if there was a later will? All these suppositions could be the start of a fictional mystery.
But, what if sometimes is not such a great question, and there are a lot of what ifs making the rounds today. Health, wealth or the routine of our daily lives is not a sure thing. Was it ever? Our minds sometimes torture us with worry about something that may or may not happen in the future. This is where we need to squelch that active imagination and put a stop to such wondering.
We need to live for the moment and enjoy the good. Certainly, there are a lot of worries pressing in, but we have today. Come to think of it, this moment is all we have, so why clutter it up with worry? It takes some practice, some perseverance, some determination, but with practice, it becomes easier to enjoy today. Let’s do it.
